Intraoperative Observation of a Macular Holes Using Optical Coherence Tomography.
Article in Clinical optometry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis study aimed to observe intraoperative changes in macular hole (MH) form using intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT).
methodsA total of 10 eyes from 10 patients with MH who underwent vitrectomy using iOCT from May 2015 to October 2015 at the Yamagata University Hospital were retrospectively evaluated. Accordingly, 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy using iOCT with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and sulfur hexafluoride gas tamponade was performed on each patient. During surgery, MHs were observed using iOCT over four points, namely, before posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) formation, after PVD formation, after ILM peeling, and after fluid-gas exchange. Thereafter, basal MH diameter and minimum aperture MH diameter were postoperatively analyzed.
resultsBefore PVD formation, after PVD formation, after ILM peeling, and after fluid-gas exchange, the mean basal MH diameters were 690.7 ± 268.4, 683.3 ± 274.2, 683.7 ± 269.5, and 668.3 ± 261.4 μm, while the mean minimum aperture MH diameters were 278.3 ± 165.2, 283.0 ± 170.2, 257.0 ± 127.8, and 188.0 ± 105.0 μm, respectively. The mean minimum aperture MH diameter decreased significantly after fluid-gas exchange (one-way repeated measures ANOVA, p < 0.05). None of the patients exhibited intraoperative closure of the MHs. However, MH closure was confirmed in all patients after the surgery.
conclusionNone of the patients demonstrated intraoperative MHs closure. Accordingly, the minimum aperture MH diameter was the first change formation to close after fluid-gas exchange.
