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

Purpose To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes in optic disc pit maculopathy following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap Methods Retrospective interventional case series of 10 patients diagnosed with serous macular detachment secondary to optic disc pit who underwent PPV with inverted ILM flap and were followed up for a year. Results A p-value of less than 0.05 was defined as statistically significant. The mean age of patients was 27.2 ± 10.6 years, preoperatively the mean best-corrected visual acuity of the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution was 0.91 ± 0.42 (approximate Snellen equivalent 20/162), which improved to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution of 0.58 ± 0.29 (approximate Snellen equivalent 20/76) at end of one year, (p=0.008). The mean central macular thickness was 804.9 ± 294.1 m which improved to 273.4 ± 102.54 m, (p=0.002). After surgery, at end of one year, 60% of patients (6/10) had 15- or more-than-15-letter improvement of vision on Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity testing, 20% (2/10) gained a 10-letter improvement and 20% (2/10) retained the same vision. Conclusion PPV with inverted ILM flap can be considered as a good approach for the management of serous macular detachment secondary to optic disc pit and produce good anatomical and visual results at one year with stabilization of the disease.
