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

purposeTo investigate the incidence of postoperative macular hole (MH), visual acuity, and anatomical recovery in patients who underwent a non-fovea-sparing technique using a double-staining method for symptomatic myopic foveoschisis without pre-existing macular holes. STUDY

designA retrospective study.

methodsWe evaluated 39 eyes from 39 consecutive patients diagnosed with myopic foveoschisis from May 2017 to September 2022 at Fujita Health University Hospital. All patients underwent non-fovea-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling using a double-staining method and were monitored for 6 months postoperatively. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) as measured by the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), central retinal thickness (CRT), and the presence of foveoschisis were assessed using optical coherence tomography (OCT) preoperatively (pre) and at 1 month (1 M), 3 months (3 M), and 6 months (6 M) postoperatively.

resultsNo cases of postoperative rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were observed. A postoperative MH developed in one eye. The mean logMAR values at pre, 1 M, 3 M, and 6 M were 0.38 ± 0.37, 0.23 ± 0.33, 0.18 ± 0.25, and 0.13 ± 0.29, respectively (all P < 0.001). The mean CRTs at pre, 1 M, 3 M, and 6 M were 384.6 ± 177.2, 262.2 ± 84.4, 200.3 ± 64.9, and 185.6 ± 61.0 μm, respectively (all P < 0.001). Foveoschisis was observed in all 39 eyes (100%) preoperatively and in 17 eyes (43.6%) at 1 M, nine eyes (34.6%) at 3 M, and zero eyes (0%) at 6 M postoperatively.

conclusionThe non-fovea-sparing double-staining technique was effective in treating myopic foveoschisis without MH, leading to significant improvements in both visual function and anatomical recovery. This method may be a promising surgical option for managing myopic foveoschisis.
