Ah I do this with if() block folding in Vim.

In this case, the developer actually has return statements inside some if blocks. A general point that has stood out from all comments is to first understand how the function achieves what the function is trying to achieve.

A return point inside an if statement is a great place to do a refactor. Refactor anything inside that if into its own function, write a test, and see what happens :)
