Corneal stromal lenticule transplantation for covering macular hole during vitrectomy.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 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
aimTo describe an innovative surgical technique for pathologic myopia and macular holes accompanied by retinal detachment using allogeneic corneal stromal lenticule transplantation combined with pars plana vitrectomy.
methodsThe allogeneic corneal stromal lenticule was harvested through small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and stored at -30°C in advance. After pars plana vitrectomy, an allogeneic corneal stromal lenticule was thawed, trimmed into approximately 60 µm thick and 100 µm larger than the macular hole and transferred to cover the macular hole through the trocar. Autologous whole blood was dripped to seal the corneal stromal lenticule. The vitreous cavity was then filled with perfluoropropane (C
resultsThe technique was performed on three eyes of three patients. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 77.3±50.0d. Postoperatively, the macular hole of all eyes was restored. All patients' visual acuities also improved. No complications occurred during the follow-up period.
conclusionThe innovative corneal stromal lenticule transplantation technique provides convenient operations, less surgical invasion, effective results, and reliable safety for macular hole repair during follow-up time.
