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

aimTo explore retinal displacement after surgical treatment for idiopathic macular hole (IMH) with different internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling patterns.

methodsTotally 22 eyes from 20 patients with IMH were randomly allocated into two groups, N-T group (11 eyes) and T-N group (11 eyes). For patients in N-T group, ILM was peeled off from nasal to temporal retina. For patients in T-N group, ILM was peeled off from temporal to nasal retina. Preoperative, postoperative 1, 3, and 6mo, autofluorescence fundus images were collected for manual measurement of distances of fixed nasal (N), temporal (T), superior (S), and inferior (I) retinal points (bifurcation or crossing of retinal vessels) around the macula to the optic disc (OD). These were respectively defined as N-OD, T-OD, S-OD, and I-OD. The retinal displacement, macular hole closure rate, and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were compared between the two groups after surgery.

resultsAt postoperative 1, 3, and 6mo, the macula slipped toward the OD, manifested by the decreased T-OD, N-OD, S-OD, and I-OD (

conclusionThe macula slips toward the OD after successful macular hole surgery. The two different ILM peeling pattern show similar visual outcome and retinal displacement, which means ILM peeling directions are not the influencing factor of postoperative retinal displacement.
