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

Purpose: To determine the functional outcomes of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling (CSB) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and compare them to standard scleral buckling (SSB). Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, and Embase up to March 2024. Studies reporting functional outcomes, particularly best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), after CSB were included. Risk of bias was assessed using standardized tools. Meta-analysis were conducted for BCVA improvement, change in BCVA (ΔBCVA), and operation time. Publication bias and heterogeneity were evaluated using funnel plots, Egger's test, and Results: A total of 27 studies were analyzed. Meta-analysis of 1258 eyes revealed significant BCVA improvement postoperatively (mean difference [MD]: -0.51; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.64 to -0.38; Conclusions: CSB significantly improves BCVA and offers comparable functional and anatomical outcomes to SSB while reducing surgical duration. This approach mitigates the limitations of traditional scleral buckling, making it a viable and efficient option for managing RRD.
