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
aimTo evaluate the incidence and clinical features of delayed reversible loss of light perception (D-RLLP) following vitreoretinal surgery, including vitrectomy or silicone oil (SO) removal, and to identify risk factors influencing its recovery time.
methodsThis study retrospectively reviewed 19 029 cases (19 029 eyes) of vitreoretinal surgery performed between October 2016 and March 2024. Based on strict temporal criteria, postoperative loss of light perception was classified as immediate postoperative loss of light perception (IP-LLP), D-RLLP, and delayed permanent loss of light perception (D-PLLP). The incidence of reversible loss of light perception (RLLP) and its clinical features were evaluated. A multiple linear regression model was constructed to identify the independent predictors of the recovery time of D-RLLP.
resultsAmong 19 029 vitreoretinal surgeries, 113 eyes (0.59%) experienced postoperative loss of light perception (LLP), including 32 eyes (28.32%) with IP-LLP, 78 eyes (69.03%) with D-RLLP, and 3 eyes (2.65%) with D-PLLP. The overall incidence of D-RLLP was 0.41% (78/19 029). D-RLLP incidence was significantly higher following SO removal (0.89%, 33/3703) than general vitrectomy (0.29%, 45/15 326;
conclusionD-RLLP is a rare clinical event following vitreoretinal surgery, with a median recovery time of 47min, and the vast majority of affected eyes recovered within 1h. SO removal displayed a significantly higher RLLP incidence than vitrectomy. Importantly, a history of hypertension and greater intraocular pressure difference correlated significantly with an extended recovery time.
