Risk factors of retinal non-reattachment after initial buckling surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Article in Japanese journal of 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
purposeNon-reattachment of the retina following scleral buckling (SB) surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a cause of poor visual prognosis. We investigated the incidence of non-reattachment after primary SB alone for RRD and its risk factors. STUDY
designRetrospective single-center study.
methodsOverall, 497 eyes (472 patients; age: 31.4±14.1 years; 308 men [65.3%]) which underwent primary scleral buckling with a silicone sponge exoplant for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) between January 2011 and March 2019 were included and classified into non-reattachment and reattachment groups. Age, sex, time from onset to initial surgery, intraocular lens-implanted eye, axial length, preoperative visual acuity, preoperative intraocular pressure, macular detachment, detachment extent, number/location of retinal breaks, surgeon, number of retinal cryopexies, and operative time were used for univariate analysis, followed by multivariate analysis for factors with significant group differences on univariate analysis.
resultsAmong 497 eyes, 32/465 were classified into the non-reattachment/reattachment groups, respectively. The initial repositioning rate was 93.6%. The non-reattachment group had a higher proportion of temporal retinal breaks (46.9% vs. 28.2%; p=0.04) and a lower proportion of inferior retinal breaks than the non-reattachment group (21.9% vs. 45.0%; p=0.02). On age- and sex-adjusted multivariate analysis, inferior retinal break was associated with a reduced risk of non-reattachment (likelihood ratio: 4.09; odds ratio: 0.41, confidence interval: 0.15-0.97).
conclusionThe initial reattachment rate for SB surgery for RRD was high, and no risk factors for non-reattachment were identified. However, a favorable outcome was more likely for inferior retinal breaks than breaks in other quadrants.
