Vitrectomy as a Prevention for Retinal Detachment in High-Risk Eyes.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (retinal detachment, RD) is the most common cause of spontaneous vision loss in aging eyes that were seeing normally until the moment of its occurrence. Causative retinal breaks usually occur in the form of peripheral tears at the vitreous base, resulting from traction exerted by the aging vitreous as it detaches posteriorly. Peripheral encircling laser retinopexy increases retinal resistance to vitreous traction in high-risk eyes. To achieve maximal lifetime prophylaxis, we show that in selected high-risk cases the vitreous can thereafter be removed by advanced vitrectomy techniques, reducing vitreous traction itself.
