Temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique for myopic macular hole retinal detachment reconstruction.

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
objectiveTo examine the effects of the temporal inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique for foveal reconstruction in patients with highly myopic macular hole-associated retinal detachment (MHRD).
methodsA retrospective case series analysis of four patients (four eyes) with MHRD was conducted. The foveal optical coherence tomography changes following treatment using the temporal inverted ILM flap technique were evaluated.
resultsIn Patient 1, the ILM bridged the macular hole and residual subretinal fluid on postoperative day 6, and complete retinal reattachment was achieved at 19 months. Patient 2 exhibited reduced retinal detachment, with visible ILM inversion and macular hole closure after 14 days. In Patient 3, macular hole closure and fovea formation had occurred by day 25, and the ILM flap was visible. At 2 months, the outer collagenous layer connection in the central fovea and recovery of the external limiting membrane and ellipsoid zone were observed. Patient 4 had a "white hole" MHRD, with macular hole closure achieved on postoperative day 20, albeit with a suboptimal foveal shape.
conclusionThe temporal inverted ILM flap technique in conjunction with vitrectomy facilitates foveal reconstruction in patients with successful treatment of MHRD, and this reconstruction process can be observed by optical coherence tomography.
