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
aimTo describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT) features in the fellow eyes of individuals with full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs).
methodsThis multicenter retrospective study included observational and validation groups, incorporating fellow eyes of patients diagnosed with idiopathic FTMH. OCT images were categorized according to International Vitreomacular Traction Study (IVTS) and Gass classification. Age- and sex-related cataract patients were served as control groups. Vertical and horizontal OCT images were chosen for further measurement. OCT parameters including foveal floor width (FFW), central foveal thickness (CFT) and FFW/CFT ratio were assessed and compared between observational and control groups and were validated by validation group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted for OCT parameters in identifying macular holes (MHs).
resultsA total of 73 patients were included in the observational group, comprising 51 females and 22 males, with an average age of 65.5±7.3y and an axial length of 23.9±0.8 mm. The validated group consisted of 47 patients, including 31 females and 16 males, with an average age of 65.0±7.4y and an average axial length of 23.6±0.8 mm. In the observational group, 16.4% of the fellow eyes associated with FTMHs also exhibited MHs, while in the validated group, this prevalence was 12.7%. The 45.2% in the observational group and 44.6% in validated group of these fellow eyes displayed abnormalities including vitreomacular adhesion (VMA), vitreomacular traction (VMT), and MHs. Statistically significant differences were observed in FFW, CFT, and FFW/CFT ratio between control and observational group, as well as validated group (
conclusionIn the case of unilateral idiopathic MHs, it was important to carefully monitor the condition of the fellow eye. The FFW and FFW/CFT ratio may be good metrics for predicting MHs.
