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 describe two cases of central visual disturbances following uncomplicated pars plana vitrectomy for macula-on retinal detachment. Observations: Both patients exhibited a distinctive angled pattern of focal disruptions of the retinal pigment epithelium, observed through fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography. These changes were noted after surgery and remained stable over a 1.5-year follow-up period without any treatment. The pattern of the lesions suggests a mechanical etiology, potentially related to intraocular pressure fluctuations or the use of perfluorocarbon liquid during surgery. Conclusions and importance: This two-case report highlights a distinct post-surgical macular retinal pigment epithelium disruption following vitrectomy for retinal detachment.
