Visual Acuity Recovery After Macular Hole Closure Associated With Foveal Avascular Zone Change.
Article in Translational vision science & technology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Purpose: To evaluate changes in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area during the postoperative period of macular hole (MH) surgery using the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and to investigate its relationship to visual acuity (VA). Methods: Consecutive unilateral MH patients who underwent successful MH closure with at least a six-month observation period were studied retrospectively. To evaluate the FAZ area, OCTA images were obtained at the preoperative visit, the first postoperative visit, and the six-month visit. Main outcome measures were postoperative FAZ change and its relationship to VA change after MH closure. Results: Fifty-one cases were studied. The FAZ area was 0.42 ± 0.11 mm Conclusions: The FAZ area once decreases along with MH closure; it thereafter increases toward the normal value over time. The postoperative FAZ change was correlated with the VA recovery. Translational Relevance: This study suggests that the postoperative FAZ area enlargement might be a potential biomarker indicating foveal reconstruction after MH closure.
