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

To establish a consensus for surgical management of full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) and macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD). Nine experienced vitreoretinal surgeons from Taiwan participated in questionnaire for surgical management of FTMH and MHRD based on Delphi methodology. Among the 49 items, 30 items (61.2%) reached strong consensus after 2 rounds. For FTMH, strong consensus included routine internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in all stages of FTMH, ILM flap in large holes ≥ 400 μm, ILM flap covering technique, small peeling area < 5 mm diameter, preservation of adherent epiretinal membrane in the flap if it cannot be separated from ILM, C
