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
backgroundFull-thickness retinal folds are an unpleasant complication after vitrectomy or buckle surgery with gas tamponade for the treatment of retinal detachment. If the retinal folds involve the macula, the visual function of the patients will be severely impaired. This article describes a surgical technique for the management of such full-thickness macular folds.
methodBetween January 2017 and June 2020 a total of 6 patients were treated with the following technique. A redetachment was induced with balanced salt solution (BSS), followed by a subretinal air injection with filtered air. The retinal fold was mechanically smoothed out with the aid of perfluorocarbon (PFC). A postoperative drainage of air and BSS was not necessary due to spontaneous resorption.
resultsNone of the patients experienced visual loss after redetachment of the retina. The visual acuity improved in 4 of the 6 patients, perception of metamorphopsia improved in 5 out of 6 patients, 2 reported complete disappearance of metamorphopsia and in 1 patient distorted vision was unchanged despite an anatomically smoothed central retina after surgery.
conclusionWith careful consideration of the indications, this surgical technique has shown to be a safe and promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of macular full-thickness retinal folds after retinal detachment surgery.
