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
backgroundTo present the anatomical and functional outcomes of combined fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling (FSIP) with internal limiting membrane flap (ILMF) for myopic traction maculopathy (MTM).
methodsThis is a retrospective, observational study. Included were 66 eyes of 62 patients who underwent vitrectomy with combined FSIP and ILMF (or modified ILMF) for MTM with a minimal follow-up of 6 months. Thirty-one eyes were treated with FSIP, and 35 with modified ILMF.
resultsThe post-operative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 20/148 to 20/87 in the FSIP group (p < 0.001), and from 20/121 to 20/66 in the modified ILMF group (p < 0.001). The post-operative macular thickness (MT) reduced after FSIP (from 739.58 to 223.81 μm, p < 0.001) and modified ILMF (from 706.43 to 236.59 μm, p < .001). The degree of the improvement of BCVA and MT in both groups was insignificant. The incidence of a post-operative macular hole (MH) was 9.7% (3/31 eyes) with FSIP and 0% (0/35 eyes) with modified ILMF. All patients with a MH had foveoschisis in association with a lamellar hole (LMH) pre-operatively. After controlling the surgical technique, pre- and post-operative MT, follow-up duration, myopic atrophy maculopathy, and FD, the surgical technique showed significant effects on post-operative MH in all cases (p = 0.022) and in those with pre-operative LMH (p = 0.029).
conclusionOur pilot study showed both methods result in significant anatomical and functional improvement. The combined FSIP with ILMF method may prevent post-operative macular hole development in cases with MTM and LMH.
