Surgical treatments for fibrous tissue extending to the posterior retina in eyes with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo describe the clinical features and surgical outcomes of macular dragging or tractional retinal detachment that occurred as a result of fibrovascular tissue (FT) progression toward the posterior retina in eyes with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR).
methodsThe medical records of 4 patients (2 girls, 2 boys) with FEVR were reviewed retrospectively.
resultsAll 4 patients had retinal dragging or radial retinal folds with FT in the peripheral retina in at least 1 eye at the initial visit. During the follow-up period, all the patients had FT that progressed toward the posterior pole and developed from the peripheral FT, resulting in macular dragging or posterior tractional retinal detachment. Vitrectomy with or without scleral buckling and laser photocoagulation were performed in all 4 cases, with removal of the FT in the posterior pole and segmentation of the FT between the posterior and peripheral FT. The traction resolved postoperatively and the retina extended in all 4 cases.
conclusionsIn 4 cases with FEVR, the FT developed from the peripheral FT, progressed toward the posterior retina, and generated traction. Vitrectomy with focal removal and segmentation of the FT in the posterior pole might be a good surgical option in such eyes.
