Spontaneous Closure of the Macular Hole in a Patient with Acquired Vitelliform Lesion.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In this paper, we report an extremely rare case of spontaneous closure of a macular hole (MH) that developed in a patient in whom acquired vitelliform lesion (AVL) occurred after vitrectomy for atopic retinal detachment (ARD). A 32-year-old male developed ARD in both eyes, and retinal reattachment was achieved after vitrectomy. Five years after surgery, optical coherence tomography showed localized serous retinal detachment (SRD) and a granular lesion with a higher brightness in the subretinal fluid, thus leading to the diagnosis of AVL. One month later, an MH developed, and a follow-up examination performed 6 weeks later revealed that the MH had spontaneously closed and the SRD decreased. In the fovea, fluorescein angiography revealed a window defect due to atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). These findings in this present case suggest the possibility that RPE dysfunction was involved in the development of AVL and MH.
