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

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of SF Materials and methods: The study included 60 eyes with large macular holes managed with pars plana vitrectomy, inverted internal limiting membrane flap, and gas tamponade with either SF Results: Both groups were comparable in baseline features of age, sex, etiology, and size of hole, with significantly larger MLD (708.2 ± 154.62 vs. 622.6 ± 114.08 μm; p=0.017) and a poorer macular hole index (0.36 ± 0.06 vs 0.31 ± 0.04; p=0.003) in the SF Discussion: The management of large macular holes is a critical challenge as these conditions can severely impair central vision and quality of life for affected patients. Surgical intervention using tamponade agents is a standard approach to promote hole closure and retinal healing. Both SF Conclusions: Both SF
