Ten-year cumulative incidence of epiretinal membranes assessed on fundus photographs. The Beijing Eye Study 2001/2011.
Article in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 assess the 10-year incidence and progression of epiretinal membranes (ERMs).
methodsThe population-based longitudinal Beijing Eye Study, which included 4439 subjects (age:40+years) in 2001, was repeated in 2011 with 2695 subjects participating (66.4% of the survivors). The study participants underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination, including retinal photography. Assessing fundus photograohs, ERMs were classified as cellophane macular reflex (CMR) without retinal folds, or as preretinal macular fibrosis (PMF) without or with retinal folds.
resultsFundus photographs were available for 2476 subjects with a mean age of 69.0±7.8 years (range:51-93 years) and mean axial length of 23.3±0.9 mm (range:19.92-26.33mm). The 10-year incidence of ERMs was 8.4% (208/2476 participants; 95% confidence interval (CI):7.4,9.5). ERMs developed bilaterally in 50 (24%) individuals and unilaterally in 158 (76%) persons. The incidence of PMFs with 2.5% (95% CI: 1.9, 3.1) was lower than the incidence of CMRs with 5.9% (95% CI: 5.0, 6.9). Higher 10-year incidence of ERMs was associated with older age (P<0.001; odds ratio (OR): 1.06; 95%CI:1.04,1.09), previous cataract surgery (P = 0.003;OR:3.32;95%CI:1.51,7.29) and presence of a complete posterior vitreous detachment (P = 0.02;OR:1.84;95%CI:1.12,3.02). In the age groups of <60 years, 60-69 years, 70-79 years and 80+years, incidence of ERMs was 3.1%, 10.0%, 14.4% and 10.9%, respectively, with no significant gender difference.
conclusionsIn Chinese aged 40+ years, the 10-year incidence of ERMs (8.4%) increased with older age, previous cataract surgery and complete posterior vitreous detachment. The ten-year incidence was lower for PMFs (2.5%) than for CMRs (5.9%).
