1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 analyze changes in choroidal thickness in patients with recurrent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) before and after surgical intervention and to identify factors that influence changes in choroidal thickness.

methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted on patients who underwent surgery for recurrent RRD from November 2019 to March 2023. Choroidal thickness was measured using optical coherence tomography at baseline and at 2 and 6 months postoperatively. The study analyzed the impact of various factors on choroidal thickness changes.

resultsThe study included 33 patients, demonstrating a significant decrease in choroidal thickness in the surgical eye compared to the fellow eye over a 6-month period. In the univariate analysis, changes in choroidal thickness were significantly correlated with changes in central retinal thickness (p = 0.048) from baseline to 2 months and with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade from 2 to 6 months (p = 0.009) and from baseline to 6 months (p = 0.020). In the multivariate analysis, an association was found between changes in choroidal thickness from 2 to 6 months and PVR grade (p = 0.030).

conclusionsThe findings indicate that surgical reattachment in eyes with recurrent RRD leads to a significant reduction in choroidal thickness. The extent of this reduction is influenced by the severity of PVR, highlighting the importance of considering PVR severity when evaluating surgical outcomes in patients with recurrent RRD.
