Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in gyrate atrophy: a case report and review of literature.
Review in Documenta ophthalmologica. Advances in ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeWe present a rare case of a 25-year-old Polish male diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) on a background of gyrate atrophy (GA), successfully treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with cryotherapy and perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas tamponade.
methodsRegular ophthalmic examinations with optical coherence tomography were performed preoperatively and three months postoperatively.
resultsThe patient initially presented with acute loss of vision to counting fingers in the left eye secondary to a macula-off RRD. Intraoperatively, multiple circumferential skirts of vitreous bands and a peripheral break at 11 o'clock were identified. The break was treated with cryotherapy and C3F8 gas tamponade. The patient underwent left-sided cataract surgery six months following his vitrectomy and subsequently a YAG laser posterior capsulotomy. The retina remained attached at his 9-month follow up with a final best-corrected visual acuity of 6/9-1.
conclusionsPPV with cryotherapy and perfluoropropane tamponade can be an effective surgical approach in the management of RRD with underlying GA. Compared to previously reported cases, a favourable visual outcome was achieved in our case, likely attributed to the absence of other ophthalmic complications (such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy) and timely surgical intervention. Recognising atypical vitreous characteristics intraoperatively may refine surgical techniques and outcomes in similar cases. Future cases could consider an encircling scleral band for additional support, particularly in cases involving inferior retinal breaks.
