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

purposeTo describe characteristics of the vitreomacular interface (VMI) in traumatic macular holes (TMH) compared to idiopathic macular holes (IMH) using immunofluorescence and electron microscopy, and to correlate with clinical data.

methodsFor immunocytochemical and ultrastructural analyses, premacular tissue with internal limiting membrane (ILM) and epiretinal membrane (ERM) was harvested during vitrectomy from 5 eyes with TMH and 5 eyes with IMH. All specimens were processed as flat mounts for phase-contrast microscopy, interference and fluorescence microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Primary antibodies were used against microglial and macroglial cells. Clinical data was retrospectively evaluated.

resultsSurgically excised premacular tissue of eyes with TMH showed a less pronounced positive immunoreactivity for anti-glutamine synthetase, anti-vimentin and anti-IBA1 compared to eyes with IMH. Cell nuclei staining of the flat-mounted specimens as well as TEM presented a lower cell count in eyes with TMH compared to IMH. All detected cells were found on the vitreal side of the ILM. No collagen fibrils were seen in specimens of TMH. According to patients' age, intraoperative data as well as spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) analysis revealed an attached posterior vitreous in the majority of TMH cases (60%), whereas all eyes with IMH presented posterior vitreous detachment.

conclusionThe vitreomacular interface in TMH and IMH shows significant differences. In TMH, glial cells are a rare finding on the vitreal side of the ILM.
