Management of traumatic macular hole and retinal detachment using amniotic membrane transplantation: A case report.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Purpose: Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) has become an increasingly utilized technique in ophthalmologic procedures. We describe a case of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) associated with a traumatic macular hole (TMH) that was identified intraoperatively and successfully repaired with an amniotic membrane transplant (AMT). Observations: An 18-year-old-female presented to our retina clinic for evaluation and treatment following firework-related trauma to the left eye. Previous globe exploration found no globe involvement. Pre-operative examination revealed a dense traumatic cataract and superior iridodialysis. Retinal evaluation was limited, but preoperative B-scan imaging suggested a macula-involving retinal detachment (RD). Intraoperatively, a TMH was identified as the cause of the RD and was repaired using AMT. Post-operatively, the patient's visual acuity improved from light perception to hand motion. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed that the AMT was in place as well as successful hole closure. The retina remained attached following silicone oil removal. Conclusions and importance: TMH-associated RRDs are rare and challenging to manage due to their complexity and difficult preoperative evaluation. AMT offers a promising approach given its availability and minimal side effects. Given the patient's improvement in visual and anatomic outcomes, this case demonstrates the potential for AMT's expanded role in the management of TMH-associated RRDs and emphasizes the need for further research to optimize techniques and enhance outcomes.
