Dyslipidemia for delayed healing after macular hole surgery: a clinical risk analysis study.
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
purposeDelayed macular hole (MH) closure poses a clinical challenge, yet few studies have examined the influence of systemic metabolic factors such as dyslipidemia on postoperative retinal repair. This study investigated risk factors associated with delayed closure after MH surgery, with a particular focus on dyslipidemia.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 432 patients who underwent MH surgery with an internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique at Tianjin Eye Hospital between 2015 and 2024. Clinical and biochemical parameters-including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), age, sex, and postoperative positioning compliance-were assessed. Multivariable logistic regression, smoothed curve fitting, and threshold-effect analyses were used to identify predictors of delayed MH closure.
resultsOf the 432 patients, 60 experienced delayed MH closure. Higher TC and TG levels were significantly associated with delayed closure after adjustment for confounders. These findings suggest that lipid dysregulation may contribute to slower retinal repair.
conclusionDyslipidemia is associated with delayed MH closure, highlighting a potential role of systemic metabolic dysfunction in postoperative retinal recovery. Lipid-lowering strategies may be considered as adjunctive measures to improve surgical outcomes. Prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings and explore targeted interventions.
