One-Year Outcome of Vitreous Cortex Remnants Removal Using a Nitinol Flex Loop for Recurrent Retinal Detachment Patients.

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
Purpose: To evaluate the 1-year outcome of vitreous cortex remnants (VCRs) removal using a nitinol flex loop during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the treatment of recurrent retinal detachment (rRD). Patients and Methods: A total of 95 eyes from 95 patients with rRD with the intraoperative evidence of VCRs were retrospectively analyzed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Vitreous visualization was enhanced with triamcinolone. The presence of VCRs was determined by gently scraping the retinal surface with a disposable nitinol loop. Patients were divided into two groups: conventional PPV with the aid of vitrectomy probe and intraocular forceps between January 2022 and December 2022 (Group A, 41 eyes), and PPV assisted by the FINESSE Flex loop for VCRs removal between January 2023 and December 2023 (Group B, 54 eyes). Outcomes were assessed during follow-ups at postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Primary outcomes included vitrectomy duration, single-surgery anatomic success rate, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Results: Group B had a significantly shorter vitrectomy duration compared to Group A ( Conclusion: Use of the FINESSE Flex loop during PPV for rRD allows a shorter surgical duration, a lower incidence of iatrogenic retinal breaks, and a higher single-surgery anatomic success rate, without increasing postoperative complications.
