Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.
Questions and results
Face‐down positioning compared with other positioning
Population: people with primary macula‐involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachments
| Outcome | Effect | Evidence | Status / GRADE |
|---|---|---|---|
Proportion of eyes with retinal displacement at 6 months or later (RR < 1 favored) Face‐down positioning vs other positioning | RR 0.73 [0.54, 0.99] | 1 study · 239 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Mean change in logMAR or Snellen visual acuity from baseline to 3 months or later (lower is favored) Face‐down positioning vs other positioning | no estimate extracted | 1 study · 56 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Mean objective distortion score at 3 months or later (lower is favored) Face‐down positioning vs other positioning | MD 1.8 | 1 study · 219 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Quality of life assessments at 3 months or later (higher is favored) Face‐down positioning vs other positioning | no estimate extracted | 1 study · 217 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Frequency of intervention‐related ocular adverse events ( Face‐down positioning vs other positioning | no estimate extracted | 1 study · 262 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Frequency of intervention‐related non‐ocular adverse events ( Face‐down positioning vs other positioning | no estimate extracted | NR | No studies |
