Intraretinal changes in the presence of epiretinal traction.

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
backgroundTo determine the correlation between the area of morphological changes on the macular surface, the depth of intraretinal changes and the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane.
methodsIn this prospective cross-sectional study, 38 patients underwent BCVA testing with a Snellen eye chart. The depth of traction, photoreceptor outer segment layer (PROS) thickness, central macular thickness (CMT) and presence of intraretinal cysts were measured using the Avanti RTVue XR and 3D Widefield Enface OCT instruments. Enface sections were performed at the inner limiting membrane (ILM) line level (ILM offset). Patients were categorized into two groups: in group 1 (n = 21), the depth of traction was within 90 μm from the ILM, and in group 2 (n = 17) it was beyond 90 μm from the ILM. The main outcome measure was the correlation between area of epiretinal traction and BCVA according to the depth of traction.
resultsIn group 1, the depth of traction was 55.15 ± 14.28 μm, the area of traction was 38.95 ± 13.63 mm
conclusionsWe found that intraretinal changes were induced by the ERM, and varied according to the depth of traction measured with en face analysis. In the case of traction deeper than 90 μm, we found a significant correlation between the inner area of the epiretinal traction and BCVA. We believe that retinal stress induced by epiretinal traction is better characterized by combining information provided by sagittal and transverse OCT scans, thus defining its prognostic significance in ERM.
