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

aimTo evaluate whether fluid-air exchange is an effective treatment for unclosed macular hole (MH) after primary vitrectomy.

methodsThis retrospective study included patients with an unclosed MH within 1-2wk after vitrectomy. Patients were divided into the vitrectomy, fluid-air exchange, and observation groups according to the secondary treatment. The anatomical outcomes and postoperative visual acuity were recorded.

resultsThe analysis included 25 eyes in 25 patients (16 females) aged 37-74y (vitrectomy group,

conclusionFluid-air exchange is an alternative option to repeat vitrectomy for patients with an unclosed MH after initial vitrectomy with elevated macular edge.
