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

Surgical advancements for full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) treatment include vitrectomy, membrane peeling, and the inverted flap technique (IFT). IFT, which involves inverting the internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap over the macular hole (MH) or into the MH, improves success rates and visual recovery. However, issues like mis-aspiration during flap handling have been problematic. We introduce the petaloid technique, to position the ILM flap under air during FTMH surgery to evaluate its outcomes. This retrospective study included 28 eyes, with a mean minimum linear diameter (MLD) 472.04 ± 199.7 μm and basal diameter (BD) of 834.95 ± 593.54 μm. Primary closure of MH was achieved in 96.42% of patients, with 3.57% showing persistent MH during the 6-month follow-up. The VA improved significantly from preoperative levels at each postoperative stage, with notable increases at 3 months (0.86 ± 0.49 logMAR;
