Partial Spontaneous Regression of the Late-Onset Choroidal Neovascularization after Full-Thickness Macular Hole Surgery without Anti-VEGF Therapy: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: The development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) following macular surgery, including repair of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs), is a clinically significant but rare complication, particularly in patients with pre-existing retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch's membrane complex changes. Case presentation: We report a 71-year-old female patient who developed CNV in the right eye following surgical treatment for an FTMH. Regular monthly follow-up examinations allowed us to track the dynamics of the disease. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography initially suggested stability. However, approximately 7 months post-surgery, a structural debut of exudative changes was observed. Anti-VEGF therapy was not administered to this eye, allowing for the observation of the natural course, which included progression followed by partial spontaneous regression. Conclusion: Our case highlights the importance of regular OCT monitoring after macular hole surgery in patients with AMD risk factors. While structural stability was maintained for months, the sudden debut of exudation and its subsequent wavelike fluctuation without treatment underscores the complex natural history of post-surgical CNV.
