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

Aim: To evaluate the long-term anatomical and functional outcomes of early posterior scleral contraction (PSC) in patients up to 30 years with myopic macular retinoschisis (MRS). Methods: This retrospective study included 21 patients (27 myopic eyes) with MRS, with or without macular detachment, who underwent PSC and had a postoperative follow-up exceeding 2 years ( Results: At approximately postoperative year 5, complete resolution of MRS was achieved in 4 eyes (30.8%, 95% CI: 12.7%-57.6%), and partial resolution occurred in 9 eyes (69.2%, 95% CI: 42.4%-87.3%); BCVA did not improve significantly compared to the baseline level ( Conclusion: Early PSC may offer favorable anatomical stability and acceptable safety in young MRS patients. However, larger prospective controlled studies are needed to confirm its long-term efficacy and safety.
