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 report a new surgical technique with a Finesse Flex loop during internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for a case of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD). OBSERVATIONS: A 55-year-old woman with a history of macular hemorrhage due to high myopia underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery for MHRD. After core vitrectomy, ILM peeling was performed for macular hole (MH) closure with a novel use of a Finesse Flex loop. While holding down the detached retina with the Finesse Flex loop with one hand, ILM peeling was conducted from the temporal to nasal side with the other hand using ILM forceps. Inverted ILM flap technique was combined, and fluid-gas exchange with 12% octafluoropropane tamponade was performed. The MH was closed, and the retina was attached with no postoperative complication. The logMAR best-corrected visual acuity improved post-treatment. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: The Finesse Flex loop can be used to control the retina when performing ILM peeling on a detached retina in MHRD patients.
