Early vitrectomy for myopic foveoschisis before foveal detachment.

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
objectiveTo compare the surgical outcomes of myopic foveoschisis (MF) with preoperative attached versus detached fovea.
designA retrospective interventional case series.
participantsEyes with MF that underwent vitrectomy were included and were divided into an attached fovea group (26 eyes) and a detached fovea group (54 eyes).
methodsPreoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography were analysed. The impact of cataract and posterior vitreous detachment were also assessed.
resultsSurgical complications were low and comparable between the two groups (p = 0.830), and the BCVA was similar between the groups at postoperative 6 and 12 months. Ellipsoid zone (EZ) restoration at 6 months was significantly greater in the attached fovea group (12/26 eyes, 46%) than in the detached group (12/54 eyes, 22%; p = 0.037). A trend toward greater restoration was observed at 12 months in the attached group (15/26 [58%] versus 24/54 [44%]; p = 0.098). Eliminating the effect of cataract, the pseudophakic subgroup analyses showed only those with a baseline attached fovea had improved BCVA (p = 0.028). Furthermore, only the 55 eyes with attached posterior vitreous preoperatively showed significant BCVA improvement at 12 months (p < 0.001), whereas the 25 eyes with a preoperative detached vitreous did not (p = 0.390).
conclusionsEarly vitrectomy in MF before foveal detachment preserves outer retinal integrity and may result in better visual acuity outcomes. Future studies are needed to confirm this and should investigate the impact of posterior vitreous detachment on the outcomes.
