Negative effects of enlarging internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular hole surgery.
Article in International journal of 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
aimTo observe the effects of the different extents of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on the surgical success and anatomical and functional outcomes of idiopathic macular hole (IMH).
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 36 patients were reviewed and divided into two groups according to the extent of ILM peeling: group A (18 patients), with the peeling area within one-half of the optic disc macular distance as the radius; group B (18 patients), with the peeling area larger than that of group A but did not exceed the optic disc macular distance as the radius. The main outcomes included the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), light-adaptive electroretinography, macular hole (MH) closure rate, central macular thickness (CMT), retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness [nine regions based on the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) ring] before and 1, 3, and 6mo after surgery.
resultsThe closure rate was 94.4% (17/18) both in groups A and B. The BCVA in both groups improved significantly compared with the preoperative values, but there was no difference between the two groups. The b-wave amplitude of the electroretinogram analysis was significantly improved in both groups compared to that of the preoperative period, with a greater increase in group A than in group B at 6mo (
conclusionEnlarging the extent of ILM peeling doesn't affect the IMH closure rate and visual acuity recovery, but the greater the extent of peeling, the greater the damage to the inner retinal structures.
