1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Ruptured retinal arterial macroaneurysm (RAM) can cause sub-inner limiting membrane (ILM) hemorrhage, leading to acute vision loss in the elderly. Vitrectomy has been established as an effective treatment to remove hemorrhage and facilitate visual recovery. Although optical coherence tomography (OCT) is useful for the diagnosis of sub-ILM hemorrhage before surgery, little is known about the postoperative OCT findings. Here, we retrospectively investigated the records of nine eyes of nine patients who underwent surgery for sub-ILM hemorrhage due to RAM rupture. On postoperative OCT, hyperreflectivity throughout the full thickness of the central fovea was observed in eight eyes (88.9%), and disruption of the ellipsoid/interdigitation zone (EZ/IZ) was observed in seven out of eight eyes (87.5%). The widths of the hyperreflectivity and EZ disruption gradually decreased. Visual recovery was least favorable in two eyes, in which the EZ line continuation did not recover until the final follow-up. The OCT findings corresponded to the hemorrhagic staining identified on fundus photographs in at least four eyes; as per the fundus photographs the findings persisted even after the hemorrhage was absorbed. In contrast, the OCT findings resembled the appearance before the development of a full-thickness macular hole, suggesting fragility caused by the RAM rupture.
