Functional Outcome After Macular Hole Surgery: Comparison of Standard Perimetry with Microperimetry.

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 compare the predictive value of macular perimetry and microperimetry for visual outcomes after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in full-thickness macular holes (MH). Methods: This retrospective, non-randomized case series refers to 100 eyes undergoing vitrectomy with ILM peeling. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), standard 12° perimetry and microperimetry were perioperatively recorded. A possible predictive value of the preoperative findings on postoperative visual function (PVF) was assessed. Results: Independent of the preoperative minimal MH size (range: 55-752 μm), all 100 MHs were closed. BCVA improved from 56.3 ± 12.8 to 74.8 ± 9.2 Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters after six months and retinal fixation stability enhanced. We found a positive correlation between BCVA and macular sensitivity 6 months postoperatively in microperimetry ( Conclusion: Microperimetry and standard perimetry are equally suitable for describing perioperative retinal function in idiopathic MH. While the indices of both methods correlate comparably well with BCVA, they cannot predict PVF. This may be partially explained by the area covered by perimetry, compared to which the size of the MH is of inferior relevance.
