Cone implicit time as a predictor of visual outcome in macular hole surgery.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeTo investigate whether preoperative retinal function measured by full-field ERG and multifocal ERG is correlated to postoperative visual acuity after macular hole surgery.
methodsStandard pars plana vitrectomy with removal of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) was performed on 19 consecutive patients undergoing macular hole surgery. Intraocular gas tamponade with a C2F6 gas-air mixture was employed, followed by a face-down position for at least 5 days. The patients were examined with the ETDRS chart, full-field ERG (Espion), multifocal ERG (Veris 6), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) preoperatively, and 6 weeks, 6 months, and 18 months after surgery.
resultsThe cone 30-Hz flicker implicit time in the full-field ERG reflecting retinal function was prolonged (p = 0.016) before surgery compared to aged-matched controls. After macula hole surgery, longstanding alteration of cone function reflected by mfERG and full-field ERG was verified 18 months after surgery. The prolonged cone 30-Hz flicker implicit time in the full-field ERG before surgery was significantly correlated to the ETDRS visual acuity 6 months postoperatively (p = 0.03).
conclusionsPreoperative evaluation of retinal function with multifocal ERG and full-field ERG improves the understanding of the retinal recovery process after macular hole surgery. The cone implicit time in full-field 30-Hz flicker ERG could be a valid predictor of long-term visual outcome, which may be useful for selecting patients suitable for surgery.
