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

backgroundTo evaluate the surgical results of scleral buckling (SB) combined with a noncontact wide-angle viewing system with a cannula-based 25G endo-illumination for the management of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) with subretinal proliferation, as well as undetected retinal breaks, in young adults, to explore characteristics of the undetected breaks.

methodsThe medical records of 26 young RRD patients with undetected retinal breaks and subretinal proliferations who underwent encircling using an SB combined noncontact wide-angle viewing system with a cannula-based 25G endo-illumination were assessed, as were their follow-ups at 1 and 6 months after surgery.

resultsRetinal breaks were found and treated in 24 (92.3%) of the patients. The breaks were mainly located in the inferior quadrant (66.7%) in the break-detected patients, especially in the inferotemporal quadrant (58.3%). The anatomical successes were 76.9% (20/26 patients) at day 1, 88.5% (23/26 patients) at 1 month, and 100% (26/26 patients) at 6 months after surgery. All patients achieved visual acuity improvements at 6 months (0.39 ± 0.18 logMAR units) after surgery, when compared with their perioperative visual acuities (0.75 ± 0.48 logMAR units).

conclusionsIn this series, endo-illumination-assisted SB appeared feasible for managing chronic RRDs with undetected breaks and subretinal proliferations. Attention to the inferior quadrant, especially in the inferotemporal quadrant during surgery, may be helpful in treating patients with undetected breaks.
