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
Background: This study aimed to report a case of outer lamellar macular hole and outer retinal detachment within myopic foveoschisis (MF) post-cataract surgery. Case presentation: An elderly female patient with bilateral high myopia and pre-existing myopic foveoschisis underwent uncomplicated sequential cataract surgeries 2 weeks apart. She was able to achieve a satisfactory visual outcome for her left eye with stable myopic foveoschisis and visual acuity of 6/7.5, near vision N6. However, her right eye vision remained poor postoperatively, with a visual acuity of 6/60. Macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed a new right eye outer lamellar macular hole (OLMH) and outer retinal detachment (ORD) within pre-existing myopic foveoschisis. Her vision remained poor after 3 weeks of conservative management, and she was offered vitreoretinal surgical intervention with pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and gas tamponade. However, she refused surgical intervention, and her right vision remained stable at 6/60 over 3 months of follow-up. Conclusion: Outer lamellar macular hole and outer retinal detachment within myopic foveoschisis can occur soon after cataract surgery, which may be related to the progression of associated vitreomacular traction, and have a poor visual outcome if left untreated. Patients with high myopia should be informed of these complications as part of pre-operative counseling.
