Spontaneous closure of a macular hole in an unusually long time after primary vitrectomy.
Article in Arquivos brasileiros de oftalmologia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report the case of a 68-year-old man who presented to our outpatient clinic for routine examination. Fifteen months before, he had undergone combined cataract and idiopathic full-thickness macular hole surgery in his right eye at another institution. In the present evaluation, the best-corrected visual acuity in his right eye was counting fingers. Fundus examination evidenced an idiopathic full-thickness macular hole in that eye, which was confirmed on spectral domain optical coherence tomography. A new surgery was offered, but the patient declined. Twenty-one months after his first consultation with us (36 months after the surgery), spectral domain optical coherence tomography revealed spontaneous closure of the idiopathic full-thickness macular hole, with a gap at the foveal ellipsoid zone. At the final visit, 22 months after the closure of the idiopathic full-thickness macular hole, the patient's best-corrected visual acuity was 20/25, and the gap at the ellipsoid zone had decreased.
