Long-term surgical outcome of high myopic full-thickness macular hole without retinoschisis.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo examine the clinical features and long-term surgical results of highly myopic full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) without retinoschisis.
methodsWe retrospectively assessed surgical outcomes of highly myopic patients who underwent vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade to treat FTMH without retinoschisis. Post-operative examinations were conducted at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, with further follow-up intervals adjusted based on physician's discretion. Clinical features related to visual acuity and anatomical success, defined as hole closure without developing foveal atrophy, were assessed.
resultsThirty-three eyes (30 patients) were included, and the mean follow-up period was 61.1 ± 48.8 months. Macular hole closure was achieved in 31 (93.9%) eyes, of which 16 (51.6%) developed foveal atrophy during follow-up. Eyes with anatomical success exhibited a significant better visual prognosis than those without during whole follow-up period (P ≤ 0.031), showing a significant postoperative visual improvement from baseline at 6 months, 12 months and final visit (P = 0.002, P < 0.001 and P = 0.013, respectively). Greater minimal macular hole diameter (P = 0.002) and the presence of posterior staphyloma (P = 0.040) were significantly related to anatomical failure, whereas longer axial length was significantly related to poorer final best-corrected visual acuity (P < 0.001).
conclusionsHole closure rate after vitrectomy in highly myopic patients with FTMH without retinoschisis was high. However, the postoperative development of foveal atrophy hindered vision improvement. Posterior staphyloma, greater minimal hole diameter, and longer axial length were predictive of poor prognosis.
