1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of intraoperative ultrasonic biomicroscopy (UBM)-guided direct cyclopexy for treating traumatic cyclodialysis clefts.

methodsIntraoperative UBM-guided direct cyclopexy was performed on a total of four eyes. Prior to the conjunctival incision, UBM evaluation was facilitated with a self-designed eye cup. Scleral flaps were generated according to their respective locations. Before the scleral flaps and conjunctiva were closed, UBM was used to promptly assess the repositioning status.

results1.UBM-guided direct cyclopexies were performed on four male patients (mean age: 39.7 years). In all instances, the cyclodialysis cleft resulted from blunt ocular trauma, with an average time interval between injury and surgical treatment of 29.5 days. 2. A simple cyclodialysis cleft was observed in two patients. One patient had retinal detachment and subluxation of the lens, and one presented with a shallow anterior chamber, iridodialysis, cataract, vitreous hemorrhage, papilledema, and hypotony maculopathy. 3. Prior to surgery, the mean IOP in all four patients was 7 mmHg (range: 6-9 mmHg), which increased to an average of 16.5 mmHg on postsurgical day three (range: 11-22 mmHg). 4. UBM examination confirmed successful closure of the cleft in all patients.

conclusionDuring the procedure, UBM-guided direct cyclopexies can accurately assess cyclodialysis cleft repair without being affected by the optical clarity of the refractive media. Preliminary findings demonstrate the feasibility of this approach.
