Positive Rotational Internal Limiting Membrane Covering Technique for Large Idiopathic Macular Holes.

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
Purpose: This article aims to determine the efficacy of a modified technique by a positive rotational internal limiting membrane (ILM) covering for the treatment of large idiopathic macular holes (IMHs). Methods: A prospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 13 patients with large IMH (> 400 μm). The ILM was dissected in approximately one diameter width of the optic disc from the inferior and temporal sides. Subsequently, a pedicled ILM flap connected to the optic disc was grasped and peeled from the superior edge of the residual ILM with a width of at least 2 papilla diameters (PDs). The pedicled ILM flap was then directly rotated to cover the IMH in a positive way. Some peeled-off ILM samples were collected for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations. During each follow-up, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), SD-OCT scans, and M-CHARTS were performed. Results: The study successfully detected IMH closure in all cases. The mean BCVA (logMAR) showed a decrease from 1.18 ± 0.209 to 0.58 ± 0.202 ( Conclusion: This technique is an effective treatment for larger IMHs. This technique has the potential to improve vision outcomes.
