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

Objective: Our objectives were to describe the incidence and possible etiology of giant retinal tears (GRT) in cats with retinal detachment, and to evaluate visual outcomes following medical or surgical (retinal reattachment) therapy. Animals: We conducted a retrospective analysis. Records from 99 cats with a diagnosis of retinal detachment were analyzed. A total of 16 cats were diagnosed with GRT. Procedure: All cats underwent complete ophthalmic examinations in addition to complete systemic examinations. Three GRT cats were treated with vitreoretinal reattachment surgery with silicone oil tamponade, 1 cat underwent enucleation, and the remaining 12 cats were treated with medical therapy only. The Fisher exact test was used to calculate risk odds ratio. Results: Individual cats experienced multiple pathologies. The most common ocular pathology in cats with GRT was hypertensive retinopathy (8/16), followed by vitreal degeneration (4/8), traumatic GRT (4/8), cataract (3/16), and anterior uveitis/vitritis (3/16). Based on risk/odds ratio, trauma ( Conclusion and clinical relevance: Vitreal degeneration and trauma were significant risk factors for development of GRT in cats. Vitreoretinal surgery with silicone tamponade was an effective treatment for vision restoration in cats with GRT.
