Comparison of the horizontal diameter to a modeled area of traction in eyes with vitreomacular traction: is the diameter close enough to the truth?

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 daily practice, vitreomacular traction (VMT) is described by the horizontal diameter of its attachment site implying a regular round shape of VMT. We investigated the deviation from this circular area of vitreous traction in patients with VMT.
methodsA retrospective analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans was performed. The area of vitreomacular attachment was determined using six radial OCT scans (A
resultsThirty-seven eyes of 37 patients with pure VMT were included. Patients' mean age was 72.8 ± 8.2 years. Mean horizontal VMT diameter was 400.8 ± 230.5 μm (median 361 μm; range 44-991 μm). While there was no difference between mean areas of traction for A
conclusionVitreous attachment sites possess an irregular non-circular shape in a significant number of eyes with VMT. Consequently, the area of traction appears inaccurately described by its horizontal VMT diameter alone. As the area of traction is important for therapeutic recommendation, our results emphasize the need for a more precise description of the area of traction in eyes with VMT.
