What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo evaluate the impact of surgical technique, preoperative findings, and the degree of retinal displacement on visual outcomes in patients undergoing repair for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
methodsIn this prospective cohort study, all consecutive patients with RRD treated at Sheba Medical Center between March 2021 and March 2022 were included. Data on surgical techniques, visual acuity (VA), preoperative posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), and postoperative imaging were collected. Retinal displacement was graded based on fundus autofluorescence and correlated with visual outcomes.
resultsA total of 128 eyes from 128 patients (mean age 56.7 ± 15.4 years) were analyzed. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was the most common procedure (79.9%), followed by scleral buckle (SB, 18.8%) and pneumatic retinopexy (2.3%). Significant improvement in VA was observed across all surgical groups. Retinal displacement was more frequent following PPV (68%) compared to SB (16%). Higher displacement grades (2-3) were associated with significantly worse final VA (p = 0.024). The presence of preoperative PVD positively correlated with surgical success in the PPV group (p = 0.003). Early postoperative signs of displacement included retinal folds and photoreceptor changes.
conclusionsPreoperative PVD status is a significant predictor of surgical success in PPV-treated RRD. Grading of retinal displacement offers a practical tool to assess its functional impact, with higher grades correlating with worse visual outcomes. Identifying risk factors for visually significant displacement may improve surgical decision-making and patient prognosis.
