Full-thickness Macular Hole Formation and Spontaneous Closure Following Vitrectomy Surgery: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic & vision research, 2026. 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
Purpose: To report two cases of macular holes (MHs) that spontaneously formed and closed following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and summarize the literature. Case Report: A 72-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman underwent PPV for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Both patients developed MHs following PPV. In both cases, the holes closed without further surgical intervention. A retrospective chart review and literature review were conducted to supplement this study. Conclusion: Spontaneous MH closure is possible in post-vitrectomized eyes. Small- or medium-sized MHs (
