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 explore the evolution of outer foveolar lucency (OFL) after vitrectomy and the correlation between OFL and visual acuity (VA) outcome in eyes with large idiopathic macular hole (IMH).

methodsIn this retrospective study, 244 eyes of 233 subjects with large IMH (diameter > 400 μm), who underwent vitrectomy, were included. Preoperative clinical data, postoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, and VA at 1-, 4-, and 10-month visits were documented. The prevalence, incidence, and width of OFL and their correlation with postoperative VA were analyzed.

resultsThe prevalence of OFL was 10.4% (24/231) at 1 month and significantly increased to 30.4% (55/181) at 4 months (P < 0.001) and 34.2% (25/73) at 10 months (P < 0.001). The incidence was 26.1% (40/153) and 22.0% (9/41) at 4 and 10 months, respectively. OFL appeared at 1 month while disappeared at 4 or 10 months in 8 eyes (50.0%). The presence of OFL at 1 month was negatively associated with IMH diameter (Nagelkerke R

conclusionsOFL is not rare in eyes with large IMH after surgery. It can occur gradually and remain during the 10-month follow-up. The presence of OFL appears to have no negative impact on the postoperative VA and it may represent the remodeling of foveal photoreceptors.
