Quantifying metamorphopsia with M-CHARTS in patients with idiopathic macular hole.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the degree of metamorphopsia using M-CHARTS™ in patients with idiopathic macular hole before and after pars plana vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe records of 22 eyes of 22 patients with a full-thickness macular hole who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and ILM peeling were reviewed. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Horizontal metamorphopsia (MH) and vertical metamorphopsia (MV) scores were determined using M-CHARTS at the same time. The time course of changes in metamorphopsia and the relationship between best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and OCT parameters were assessed.
resultsSealing of the macular hole was noted in all eyes after surgery. BCVA improved significantly from 1 month after surgery (
conclusionThe satisfaction of the patients with macular hole after surgery cannot be necessarily measured by BCVA alone, because M-scores were not correlated to BCVA in postoperative evaluation. Therefore, evaluation of the MV and MH scores can be an independent treatment outcome in addition to BCVA.
