Characteristics and management of macular hole developing after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair.
Article in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo report characteristics of patients developing full-thickness macular hole (MH) after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair surgery. We also compared patients developing MH with and without accompanying RRD recurrence regarding anatomical and visual outcomes of MH repair.
designRetrospective study.
methodsMedical records of patients who developed MH after RRD repair between January 2002 and January 2018 were reviewed.
resultsWe performed 1661 primary RRD operations during the study period and 14 of these developed MH, an incidence of 0.8%. Nine patients had their primary RRD repair surgery in another clinic and were referred to our clinic after development of MH. In total 23 patients with MH secondary to RRD repair were included in the study. The type of RRD repair surgery was scleral buckling only in 4 patients (17%), pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) only in 14 patients (61%), and sequential scleral buckling and PPV in 5 patients (22%). Nineteen patients (83%) had macula-off RRD. In 12 patients (52%), MH developed within 3 months after RRD repair. Surgery for MH repair was performed in 18 patients. Postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was better than preoperative BCVA in the group with RRD recurrence as well as in the group without RRD recurrence (both P < 0.05). There wasn't a significant difference between these groups regarding postoperative visual gain and anatomical success (P > 0.05).
conclusionMH can develop after various surgical methods of RRD repair. Anatomic closure and visual acuity gain can be achieved even if patients have accompanying RRD recurrence.
