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

Endoscopic breast surgery (EBS) is a widely adopted minimally invasive technique that offers improved cosmetic outcomes and faster recovery. However, the use of carbon dioxide insufflation can occasionally result in unexpected complications. We report a rare case of acute postoperative ocular pain with suspected transient intraocular pressure elevation following EBS in a healthy 36-year-old female. The symptoms were likely due to CO₂ diffusion into subcutaneous tissue and Trendelenburg positioning, which contributed to venous congestion and elevated episcleral venous pressure. Conservative management led to full symptom resolution within 24 hours. This case underscores the importance of intraoperative vigilance and awareness of atypical postoperative symptoms.
