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

Macular hole is characterized by a full-thickness defect of the retinal layers in the center of the fovea and is an important cause of central vision loss. Spontaneous closure of a macular hole is rare, most often occurring in traumatic and idiopathic macular holes. In this case report, we present a 51-year-old woman with a myopic macular hole that closed spontaneously. The patient had degenerative myopia and a history of clear lens surgery and multiple laser retinopexy procedures due to retinal tear in both eyes. A macular hole was detected in her right eye, but she declined surgery and was followed up. At 66 months after presentation, bridge formation and spontaneous closure of the macular hole were observed. Spontaneous closure is extremely rare in cases of myopic macular hole, but may be seen in patients who are followed for a long time.
