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
purposeTo compare 10-MHz and 15-MHz B-scan probes regarding the detection and localization of retinal detachment (RD) in silicone-oil-filled eyes.
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study included 100 eyes (98 patients) -having media opacity precluding fundus examination- scheduled for silicone-oil removal. Patients were examined in the sitting-position using both frequencies one week preoperatively. Longitudinal and transverse scans were taken in primary-gaze, inferior, inferonasal, and inferotemporal positions to detect the presence/absence and extent of RD. Patients were sub-grouped according to axial lengths (AXLs), state of silicone emulsification, and globe filling. Agreement between sonographic and intraoperative observations was compared.
resultsNo statistically significant differences were found between 15-MHz and intra-operative findings regarding RD detection (P = 0.752) and accurate localization of inferior, inferonasal, and inferotemporal RD (P = 0.279, 0.606, and 0.599). There were statistically significant differences between 10-MHz and intra-operative findings regarding RD detection and localization (P < 0.001). The 15-MHz probe was superior to 10-MHz probe regarding the accuracy of RD detection and localization (94% and 47%, respectively). The accuracy of 15-MHz probe was 88%, 83%, and 85% in detecting and localizing inferior, inferonasal, and inferotemporal RD compared to 45%, 60%, and 62% with 10-MHz probe. The 15-MHz probe showed better sensitivity while 10-MHz probe showed better accuracy in eyes with short AXLs. The 10-MHz probe showed better sensitivity in patients with sonographic emulsification while15-MHz probe had better sensitivity in detecting vitreoretinal-interface disorders.
conclusionThe 15-MHz B-scan probe is more accurate in detecting and localizing recurrent RD in silicone-oil-filled globes with higher sensitivity in detecting vitreoretinal-interface disorders.
