Macular hole closure at seven years after surgery.

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
purposeTo report a case of macular hole (MH) closure at seven years after internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. OBSERVATIONS: A 66-year-old woman developed a MH in her left eye. Pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling and SF6 gas injection followed by face-down position for a week slightly improved the visual acuity from 20/400 to 20/200 but did not close the MH. During subsequent three years of follow-up without any treatment, the MH did not close. Seven years after the surgery, she visited us for cataract surgery in her right eye, and the optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination coincidentally found closure of the MH in her left eye. The visual acuity of her left eye remained 20/200 despite the MH closure. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: ILM peeling might indirectly contribute to the closure of MH at seven years after the surgery although the mechanism is unclear. Sharing the serial OCT images until the MH closure would help us explore the mechanisms of ILM peeling to close MH and develop rational surgery technique manipulating ILM for MH.
