Comparison of retinal vascular arcade trajectory between eyes with an idiopathic macular hole and the healthy fellow eye.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. 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
purposeWe aimed to present a method to evaluate the retinal arcade vascular trajectory by measuring the distance between the retinal veins in eyes with idiopathic macular hole (IMH) and comparing this measurement with healthy fellow eyes.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study 18 patients with unilateral IMH were enrolled. We used standard fundus photographs, which were obtained from each eye with a digital fundus camera using a 55-degree lens. The calculation of the retinal arcade vascular trajectories was done by drawing and measuring five vertical lines within the macular area.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 65 ± 9 years. The between-groups differences of each vertical line were not statistically significant, except for the differences between the most temporal line, which was greater in the diseased group (9388 vs. 8322 μm; P = 0.034). The ratio between the fifth (most temporal) and the third (fovea-center) vertical lines was greater than 1 (V-shape) in 72% of eyes with a macular hole, whereas it was less than one (U-shape) in 78% of control eyes (P = 0.003).
conclusionsWe demonstrated that in eyes with an IMH the vascular arcade has more tendency to diverge on its path temporal to the fovea.
