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

purposeWe have shown distinct morphological changes of the foveal retina such as horizontally asymmetrical retinal thicknesses and displacements of the fovea toward the optic disc after successful idiopathic macular hole (MH) closure by MH surgery with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these morphological changes will alter the stereoacuity.

settingThis was a non-randomized, retrospective study conducted on patients who underwent MH surgery at the Matsumoto Dental University Hospital, Nagano, Japan.

methodsForty patients (22 women, 18 men) who underwent MH surgery with ILM peeling for a unilateral MH were studied. At >6 months after the PPV, the stereoacuity was measured with the Titmus stereotest (TST) and the TNO stereotest (TNO). The relationship between the stereoacuity and the age, MH size, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), foveal retinal thickness, and amount of nasal shift of the retina was determined.

resultsThe mean postoperative BCVA was -0.05 ± 0.11 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) units. The percentage of cases with good stereoacuity of ≤100 sec of arc was 87.5% with the TST and ≤240" was 90% with the TNO test. A better stereoacuity was significantly correlated with a younger age (

conclusionThe postoperative stereopsis is relatively good in patients with better postoperative BCVA after MH surgery with ILM peeling, even though foveal morphological changes had occurred.
