Changes in retinal sensitivity following inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique for large macular holes.
Article in Taiwan journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique and measure the retinal sensitivity using microperimetry-1 (MP-1) test in patients with large macular hole (MH). MATERIALS AND
methodsWe enrolled patients undergoing surgery for idiopathic MHs from January 2016 to October 2019. Only patients having a minimum diameter of idiopathic MH exceeding 500 μm were included in this study. All patients underwent complete preoperative ophthalmologic examinations, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurements. Postoperative OCT and BCVA were evaluated at least 3 months postoperatively. In addition, these patients also received MP-1 pre- and postoperatively for retinal sensitivity measurement.
resultsTotally ten patients (ten eyes) were included for analysis. The mean retinal sensitivity within central 12° and 40° was statistically improved after surgery (
conclusionPatients with large MH have a great successful rate by receiving inverted ILM flap technique. In our study, all MHs of ten eyes were closed postoperatively. The results also demonstrated that ILM flap technique improves both the functional and anatomic outcomes.
