Vitrectomy for a traumatic macular hole caused by cosmetic laser in a beauty salon: A case report.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. 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
Background: The Nd:YAG laser is widely used in various aspects of work and life. Currently, it has become a popular cosmetic technique in beauty salons. The laser can be dangerous when it flashes into people's eyes. Case presentation: A 34-year-old female sustained a 1064-nm Q-switched Nd:YAG laser injury to her left eye. One month after the injury, she presented to our clinic with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/250 and a full-thickness macular hole on the optical coherence tomography (OCT). The patient received pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling and sterile air injection 3 months after the injury. OCT showed closure of the hole 9 days postoperatively. After a 3-month follow-up, her BCVA improved to 20/100. Conclusions: This case report comprehensively introduces the whole progression of a cosmetic laser-induced macular hole from formation to recovery. Due to the potential threats of the laser and its irreversible damage to the retina and choroid, sufficient education should be given before performing any laser devices, especially those without professional knowledge.
