A case of severe macular displacement secondary to aggressive proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundWe report a case of severe macular displacement occurring after multiple vitrectomy surgeries for recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). CASE PRESENTATION: A 32-year-old African male underwent multiple vitrectomy surgeries for RRD with PVR. Sequential fundus photographs and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) documented the significant foveal displacement and macular dragging. After multiple vitrectomies the retina was successfully reattached, but a severe inferior displacement of the macula with foveal ectopia occurred, caused by the development of proliferative membranes along the chorioretinectomy edge.
conclusionsThis report highlights a case of severe macular displacement and foveal ectopia, a rare and devastating complication of PVR that prevents favourable visual outcomes in these complex RRD scenarios. Our case contributes to the limited literature on PVR outcomes in Black Africans, suggesting a potential role of ethnic variations in the fibrotic healing responses that warrants further investigation.
