Human amniotic membrane grafts for retinal breaks in diabetic tractional retinal detachment and combined tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
To describe the surgical outcomes of using human amniotic membrane (hAM) grafts in the management of retinal breaks in diabetic tractional detachment (TRD) and combined tractional and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (CTRRD). A retrospective case series of 10 eyes with TRD or CTRRD receiving pars plana vitrectomy with hAM grafts implantation, compared with 13 controls receiving the same surgery without hAM grafts. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and re-detachment rate were compared between two groups. Postoperatively, all eyes in the hAM group had retina attachment without recurrence, while 9 eyes in the control group had retina re-detachment and required additional surgery (0% vs 69.2%, p = 0.003). The BCVA significantly improved in the hAM group (from 1.96 ± 0.95 to 1.44 ± 0.77 in log MAR, p = 0.03), but not improved in control group (p = 0.20). Postoperative optical coherence tomography of the eyes receiving hAM grafts demonstrated glial tissue regeneration and restoration of ellipsoid zone. In diabetic TRD or CTRRD, hAM grafts could be an effective method, with promising outcome. Compared to standard surgery, it could result in higher retina reattachment rate and significant visual improvement. Moreover, it may offer the adjunctive benefit in tissue regeneration and fasten ellipsoid zone restoration.
