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 investigate the effect of adjuvant mitomycin C (MMC) on severe traumatic retinal detachments (RDs) with advanced proliferative vitreoretinopathy secondary to open-globe injury, managed with relaxing retinotomy and retinectomy. Methods: Medical records of 43 consecutive patients with traumatic RD undergoing relaxing retinotomy and retinectomy between 2016 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were categorized into those who received 20 µg/mL MMC via the MMC sandwich method (group 1) and those who did not (group 2). Preoperative characteristics, surgical interventions, and postoperative outcomes were compared. Results: Group differences in baseline variables were not statistically significant, except for the time interval between trauma and vitrectomy ( Conclusions: MMC can be safely used with the MMC sandwich technique for severe traumatic RDs managed by relaxing retinotomy and retinectomy, with favorable anatomic and functional outcomes despite the small sample size.
