1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Post-vitrectomy cystoid macular edema (CME) can lead to failure of macular hole (MH) closure. We report 2 cases of failure of MH closure due to post-vitrectomy CME, which were successfully treated using sub-Tenon triamcinolone acetonide (STTA) injection. Case Presentations: Case 1 involved a 72-year-old male patient with a Gass Stage 3 MH in the right eye. He underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), internal limiting membrane translocation, and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas injection with cataract surgery in his right eye. The MH did not close postoperatively; further, CME developed at the edge of the MH. Accordingly, the patient underwent an STTA injection. Approximately 2 weeks after the STTA injection, the CME disappeared and the MH closed, which has remained closed 1 year after PPV. Case 2 involved a 78-year-old female patient with Gass Stage 3 MH in the left eye. The patient underwent the same surgical procedure as that performed in case 1. Further, she presented with failure of MH closure caused by CME; therefore, an STTA injection was performed. Approximately 6 weeks after STTA injection, the CME disappeared and the MH closed; further, there was maintained improvement of best-corrected visual acuity for 6 months. Conclusions: STTA injection could be considered before reoperation in cases involving failure of MH closure due to postoperative CME.
