Glial-Plug Proliferation after Inverted Internal Limiting Membrane Flap Technique for Idiopathic Macular Hole.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the effect of multiple folded internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap in the inverted ILM flap technique on postoperative outcomes of patients with full-thickness macular hole (FTMH). Methods: This retrospective study included 41 eyes of 41 patients with FTMH treated with vitrectomy using the inverted ILM flap technique. Complete ophthalmic examination was performed preoperatively, at 1 week, and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after surgery. Results: Postoperative SD-OCT confirmed macular hole (MH) closure in all patients. The mean BCVA improved from 0.7 LogMAR (20/100) preoperatively to 0.5 LogMAR (20/63) postoperatively. In two cases, 7 days after vitrectomy, flap closure was noted. At the final visit after 12 months, the following foveal contours were noted: 14 U-shape (34.1%), 12 irregular (W-shape) (29.3%), and 6 V-shape (14.6%). We observed a type of "plug closure" in 9 (22%) eyes in which hyperproliferation was noted in one eye. Conclusions: The surgeons should be aware of potential hyperproliferation on the retinal surface after the multi-layered flap technique.
