Drug-related retinal detachment pharmacovigilance signals in the real world: evidence from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.

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
objectiveThe clinical evidence linking medications to retinal detachment (RD) remains limited. This study utilises real-world data from the U.S. FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to identify drugs associated with RD and characterise their classifications.
methodsA disproportionality analysis was performed on over 17 million FAERS reports. Drugs with statistically significant disproportionate RD reporting were identified and categorised by therapeutic class, signal strength, latency period, subgroup factors (e.g., off-label use, age, gender, subtypes, regions), and sensitivity analysis.
resultsThirty drugs showed significant associations with RD, including ophthalmic agents, anticancer therapies, corticosteroids, and erectile dysfunction medications. Signal strength varied: pilocarpine, encorafenib, and ocriplasmin exhibited the highest signal strength, while prednisolone and bevacizumab showed lower strength. Latency periods differed significantly: erectile dysfunction drugs had the longest median latency (365 days), whereas anticancer drugs had the shortest (14 days). Subgroup analyses revealed elevated RD signal strength with off-label use and distinct susceptibility patterns: younger adults (<65) and males had higher signal strength for specific drug classes (e.g., ophthalmic agents), while older adults (>65) were more susceptible to RD with corticosteroids. Subtype analysis highlighted drug-specific associations with exudative, tractional, and rhegmatogenous RD. Sensitivity analysis restricted to healthcare professional reports further confirmed the robustness of the findings.
conclusionsThis study provides a stratified list of medications with disproportionate reporting signals for RD. Further high-quality epidemiological and mechanistic studies are warranted to validate the potential causality associations between these medications and RD.
