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 evaluate the surgical results of macular hole (MH) in patients with high myopia treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) leaving the internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap floating in vitreous fluid at the edge of the MH.

methodsNine highly myopic eyes with MH of nine consecutive patients who underwent PPV were retrospectively evaluated. Three eyes were accompanied by retinal detachment (RD). ILM peeling was performed around the MH and some part of the ILM flap was left attached to the edge of the MH. Further manipulation of the ILM flap to cover the MH was not performed. Fluid-gas exchange was performed to the retinal vessel arcade level. Patients maintained a face down position for 3 to 7 days postoperatively.

resultsComplete MH closure was confirmed using optical coherence tomography in all eyes and three eyes with RD showed reattachment of the retina after the initial surgery. Visual acuity significantly improved (P = 0.02) and no eyes experienced MH reopening or RD occurrence during the follow-up period of 8.33 ± 3.61 months after the surgery.

conclusionsMH with or without RD in highly myopic eyes could be successfully treated with PPV leaving ILM flap floating in vitreous fluid at the edge of the MH. After the ILM peeling, further manipulation of the ILM flap to cover the MH would not be necessary for the treatment of MH in high myopia.
