Retinal redetachment after silicone oil removal: a risk factor analysis.
Observational study in BMC ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05647928 (Retinal Redetachment After Silicone Oil Removal), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
purposeTo report the rate of retinal redetachment after silicone oil removal following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery and to determine potential risk factors.
methodsRetrospective observational case series of 161 eyes who underwent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery and subsequent silicone oil removal. Pre- and intraoperative risk factors were evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. We also evaluated the effect of tamponade duration on anatomical outcomes.
resultsThe median tamponade duration was 5.9 [4.3;7.6] months. Seventeen (10.6%) eyes underwent silicone oil removal within 3 months of surgery, with a median delay of 2.3 [2.0;2.8] months. The rate of retinal detachment after silicone oil removal was 14.9%. A history of previous unsuccessful surgery was the only significant risk factor for retinal redetachment after silicone oil removal (OR 4.8, 95%CI [1.5;19.0], p = 0.02). The use of 360° laser retinopexy and concomitant air or gas tamponade during silicone oil removal were not found to affect the redetachment rate. Eyes with silicone oil tamponade ≤ 3 months showed an increased, albeit not significant, risk of developing recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after silicone oil removal (35.3% versus 12.5%, p = 0.06).
conclusionA retinal redetachment occurred in 14.9% of eyes undergoing silicone oil removal following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery. Previous failed surgery was associated with a 4.8-fold increased risk of developing recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after silicone oil removal. Eyes with silicone oil tamponade ≤ 3 months tended to have a higher redetachment rate. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ID NCT05647928 (12th April 2022).
