Incidences and outcomes of retinal re-detachment in vitrectomised eyes following cataract extraction.

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
purposePars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas tamponade is known to precipitate cataract progression, particularly when performed for retinal detachment (RD). While cataract surgical complications in previously vitrectomised eyes are well-studied, limited literature exists on the rate of retinal re-detachment following cataract extraction (CE) in eyes with prior PPV for RD.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on consecutive CE's at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust between January 1, 2015, and March 15, 2022. Included were patients with prior PPV for RD. Exclusion criteria included multiple vitrectomies before CE, combined procedures with phacoemulsification, and non-phacoemulsification CE's. Data on demographics, the interval from PPV to CE, and subsequent retinal detachment were collected, with a minimum of one-year follow-up post CE. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic regression.
resultsOut of 110,670 patients who had CE, 1,808 had prior RD repair. Within this group, 44 patients (2.4%) experienced re-detachment following CE. This rate was significantly higher than the 0.34% incidence of first RD after CE (χ
conclusionThis study highlights that the rate of re-detachment following CE is still significant despite eyes having undergone previous vitrectomy and RD repair. Final visual acuity was notably lower in those patients who had RD post CE compared to those with RD repair before CE.
