A Sandwich-Type Double-Layer Amniotic Membrane Graft for Repairing Myopic Macular Hole-Related Retinal Detachment in a Child with Knobloch Syndrome.

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
This case report describes a surgical technique using double-layer human amniotic membrane (hAM) grafting to repair a high myopic macular hole (MH)-related chronic retinal detachment (RD) with subretinal bands in a child with Knobloch syndrome. A 4-year-old boy diagnosed with Knobloch syndrome presented with macular atrophy in the right eye and chronic total RD with subretinal bands associated with a myopic MH in the left eye. The surgery involved an encircling band, pars plana vitrectomy, and subretinal band extraction through a retinotomy. The retinotomy and MH were sealed using hAM with a 5000 centistoke (cS) silicone oil (SO) tamponade. RD recurred two weeks postoperatively due to hAM contracture, leading to MH reopening. A second intervention included replacing the contracted graft with two larger hAM grafts; the first positioned under the MH and the second over the MH in a sandwich configuration, with 5000 cS SO tamponade. Eighteen months after SO removal, a flat retina, closed MH, and ambulatory vision were achieved. In conclusion, double-layer hAM grafting provides a strong seal for MH in high myopia-associated RD where conventional techniques fail.
