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
purposeIn this study, we used the PuREC to carry out electroretinography (ERG) measurements using skin electrodes to assess changes before and after microincision vitreous surgery (MIVS) for epiretinal membrane (ERM) and evaluate the stress on retinal function soon after MIVS.
methodsThe study subjects were 18 eyes of 18 patients who underwent MIVS for ERM simultaneously with cataract surgery. ERG measurements were performed using a skin electrode on the day before vitreous surgery, on the day after surgery, and 1 week later. The amplitude and implicit time of each waveform were measured, and the changes between preoperative results and those 1 day and 1 week postoperatively were investigated.
resultsPreoperatively, the dark-adapted (DA) 0.01 ERG, the DA 3.0 ERG a-wave amplitude, and the light-adapted (LA) 3.0 ERG b-wave amplitude were significantly smaller in affected eyes compared with their fellow eyes (P < 0.05, Wilcoxon's signed-rank test). The day after surgery, all-wave amplitude showed no significant difference compared to preoperatively (repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) post hoc test). One week after surgery, the LA 3.0 ERG for b-waves and flicker ERG amplitude had improved from the value on the day after surgery (P < 0.05, ANOVA post hoc test).
conclusionsCone ERG components have improved within 1 week after surgery by MIVS for ERM.
