Spontaneous Resolution of Tractional Retinal Detachment in a Type II Diabetic Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 43 years old male with diabetes type II was under treatment for diabetic retinopathy with extramacular tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in the left eye OS. During the follow-up visit, the patient had a drop in vision from 20/25 to 20/60. The TRD was found to have progressed to involve the macula and was threatening the fovea; therefore, vitrectomy was thought to be inevitable. Meanwhile, the patient adopted exercise and tight glycemic control, and during the preoperative evaluation of three months duration, we observed resolution of traction and return of visual acuity to baseline (20/20). In conclusion, spontaneous resolution of TRD is extremely rare. If it occurs, the patient may be spared from undergoing a vitrectomy.
