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

Aim: To compare the surgical outcomes and assess the effectiveness of a three-dimensional digital visualization system (3DVS) versus traditional microscope-assisted pars plana vitrectomy in the management of infectious endophthalmitis. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted on 29 patients diagnosed with infectious endophthalmitis who underwent 23-gauge transconjunctival vitrectomy between 1 Jan. 2020 and 31 Aug. 2023. Of all these patients, 16 cases underwent vitrectomy-assisted by the 3DVS (3D group), and the other 13 cases by traditional microscope (eyepiece group). The main comparison focuses on the differences between the two systems in terms of operation time, the brightness of the endoillumination, complications, and preoperative and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA, logMAR). Results: There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups, with trauma being the most prevalent cause of infection (10 vs 8). The positive detection rate of pathogenic bacteria exceeded 40% in both groups (43.75% vs. 46.15%). The results showed that the incidence of complications, including high intraocular pressure (3 vs. 4) and retinal detachment (4 vs. 3), did not differ significantly between the groups (chi-square = 0.2857, Conclusion: The 3DVS provides comparable surgical outcomes to the traditional microscope, with the advantages of clearer intraoperative visualization, lower required illumination, and optimized ergonomic design. It is suitable for complex and prolonged endophthalmitis surgery, offering excellent safety and efficacy.
