Immediate Release of Vitreomacular Traction After Pneumatic Vitreolysis Followed by the Drinking Bird Technique.
Article in Journal of vitreoretinal diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 report a case of release of vitreomacular traction (VMT) in a patient with a full thickness macular hole (FTMH) immediately following pneumatic vitreolysis (PV) combined with head bobbing movements. Methods: A 71-year-old female with VMT and an FTMH presented with blurred vision for 2 months to the level of 20/400. At her 1-month follow-up visit, PV was performed using C Results: Optical coherence tomography performed ten minutes after PV with head bobbing showed VMT release and a smaller FTMH. Visual acuity improved to 20/150 immediately afterwards and to 20/80 two months later. Conclusions: Using the drinking bird technique for a continuous period of time immediately following PV may encourage rapid VMT release. PV may be a feasible option for patients with VMT and FTMH who do not want surgery.
