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
purposeThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether preexisting epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a significant risk factor for developing pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME).
methodsTwo hundred four consecutive eyes and 153 consecutive eyes without preexisting epiretinal membranes were retrospectively compared regarding PCME development following phacoemulsification with posterior chamber lens implantation. Patients with vascular retinal diseases, uveitis, trauma, neovascular macular degeneration, chronic inflammatory conditions, diabetic retinopathy, endophthalmitis, eventful cataract surgery, and combination of cataract surgery and vitrectomy during the observation period were excluded. Macular examination was performed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) before as well as at 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 36 weeks after cataract surgery. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were calculated.
resultsPCME occurred in 32 of 204 eyes with preexisting ERM (15.7%), whereas 9 of 153 eyes without preexisting ERM (5.9%) developed PCME. The risk of PCME was significantly increased in eyes with ERM (p = 0.007). By multivariate logistic regression analysis, factors predictive of PCME included the history of previous pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment (odds ratio (OR) 3.619 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.242 to 10.258]; p = 0.016) as well as the preexistence of ERM (OR 3.885 [95% CI 1.162 to 17.762]; p = 0.04).
conclusionPreexisting ERM seems to be associated with an increased risk of PCME following cataract surgery. Therefore, this risk should be considered in surgery planning, preoperative medication, and follow-up care after surgery.
