The safety and efficacy of posterior scleral reinforcement with bovine pericardial patch in progressive high myopia: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundTo observe the safety and efficacy of posterior scleral reinforcement (PSR) with a bovine pericardial patch in patients with progressive high myopia over a 1-year follow-up period.
methodsThirteen eyes of 11 patients with progressive high myopia who underwent the PSR surgery were followed up with measurements of axial length (AL), spherical equivalent (SE), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and intraocular pressure (IOP) at baseline, 1 and 3 months, and 1 year postoperatively.
resultsThe preoperative AL (29.55 ± 1.43 mm) was decreased to 28.95 ± 1.48 mm at 1 month post-PSR surgery and elongated to 29.68 ± 1.45 mm at the end of the follow-ups. The SE decreased from - 15.13 ± 3.43 diopters (D) preoperatively to - 14.43 ± 4.07D at 1 month post-PSR surgery and increased to - 15.25 ± 3.08D at the end of the follow-ups. BCVA remained relatively stable, with no statistically significant differences observed during the 1-year follow-up. The postoperative BCVA improved in eight eyes (62%). No serious postoperative complications were observed.
conclusionsThe modified Snyder-Thompson PSR surgery utilizing a bovine pericardial patch has the potential to delay AL elongation over a one-year postoperative period.
