Three hundred sixty-degree prophylactic laser retinopexy versus focal laser during rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
purposeTo compare the anatomic, functional and safety outcomes of intra-operative 360-degree prophylactic laser retinopexy versus focal laser retinopexy during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to assess the certainty of evidence.
methodsPubMed, Web of Science and Scopus were searched on June 27, 2025. Randomized controlled trials and comparative observational studies evaluating 360-degree versus focal laser during PPV for RRD were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed risk of bias (ROB-2, NIH tools). Pooled analyses were conducted using random-effects models, and the certainty of evidence was graded using GRADE. The primary outcome was single-surgery anatomic success (SSAS). Secondary outcomes included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and post-operative complications.
resultsThirteen studies comprising 3639 eyes were included. Compared with focal laser, 360-degree laser achieved higher odds of SSAS (OR: 1.82; 95% CI, 1.40-2.39; I
conclusionAdjunctive 360-degree laser retinopexy during PPV for RRD was associated with higher SSAS without a measurable increase in post-operative complications. However, no improvement in visual acuity outcomes was observed. Given the predominance of observational evidence, further well-designed randomized trials are warranted to clarify the magnitude of benefit.
