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

Introduction: We aimed to report macular morphological changes observed on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a child with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), experiencing macular traction caused by fibrovascular tissue (FT), who underwent vitrectomy. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old girl presented with the chief complaint of decreased visual acuity in the left eye during a school examination. Fundus examination revealed retinal folds with FT extending from the peripheral retina to the posterior pole of the left eye. Despite interventions such as retinal photocoagulation and encircling buckling aimed at reducing the traction on the macula, OCT revealed persistent deep retinal folds and a thickened outer nuclear layer (ONL), indicating gradually increasing macular traction, which contributed to vision loss. A subsequent vitrectomy alleviated the macular traction, enhanced the retinal morphology, and reduced ONL thickening regardless of persistent ectopic inner foveal layers. Conclusions: Macular morphological changes before and after vitrectomy in a pediatric case of FEVR can be observed using OCT. Vitrectomy with FT removal may be effective in partially improving macular morphology in FEVR with macular traction.
