Surgical repair of an inflammatory macular hole associated with ocular syphilis.

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
Purpose: To describe a case of an inflammatory macular hole associated with ocular syphilis and its successful surgical closure. Observations: A 55-year-old man presented with count fingers vision and was found to have unilateral ocular syphilis with panuveitis and a foveal subretinal lesion. The inflammation quickly resolved with treatment, but he developed a full-thickness macular hole on day 5. A pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peel and intraocular gas was performed three months later. The macular hole was successfully closed, and the patient's vision improved to 20/200 18 months after repair. Foveal outer retinal atrophy limited final vision improvement. Conclusions and importance: Ocular syphilis can rarely be associated with inflammatory macular holes. Surgical intervention can offer successful anatomic results; however, final visual outcomes may be limited by retinal scarring or atrophy from the original inflammation.
