Retinal detachment in patients with Sticklers syndrome: A comprehensive analysis for craniofacial surgeons.
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Background: Stickler syndrome (SS) is the leading cause of hereditary retinal detachment (RD) in children and is characterized by ophthalmic, auditory, orofacial, and articular abnormalities. Vision loss often results from retinal events (RE), including retinal tears and detachments. Purpose: To identify clinical and genetic risk factors for retinal events in patients with SS, to guide screening and preventive care. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 78 patients with clinically or genetically confirmed SS seen at the University Medical Center Utrecht between 2000 and 2019. Predictors included family history of SS, presence of a COL2A1 pathogenic variant, and degree of myopia. The primary outcome was occurrence of a retinal event, defined as a retinal tear or detachment confirmed by an ophthalmologist. Covariates were age, sex, Pierre Robin sequence, refractive error, retinopathy, hearing problems, joint problems, and cleft palate. Descriptive statistics, univariate analyses, and multivariate Kaplan-Meier survival models with multiple imputation and Firth's correction were used. Results: Nineteen of 78 patients (24%) developed at least one retinal event at a median age of 14 years. Multivariate analysis revealed that a positive family history of SS (HR 5.53, 95% CI 1.42-21.55), COL2A1 pathogenic variant (HR 3.59, 95% CI 1.00-12.82), and greater myopic refractive error (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.74-0.99) were significantly associated with increased RE risk. Conclusion: A positive family history, COL2A1 mutation, and higher myopia independently predict retinal events in Stickler syndrome. Regular ophthalmologic screening is recommended for younger and high-risk patients, while education on early symptoms of retinal detachment is essential for older children and adults.
