Anatomical and functional outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy for inflammatory epiretinal membrane surgery in healed toxoplasmosis infection.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Epiretinal membrane over macula secondary to toxoplasmosis compromises vision. We describe the outcome of pars plana vitrectomy and epiretinal membrane removal after adequate treatment of acute infection. The average age of all four male patients was 36 years (range 20-60 years). Following surgery there was an average three or more lines visual acuity improvement, restoration of foveal contour with reduction in central macular thickness. One patient developed choroidal neovascular membrane postsurgery and was effectively treated with intravitreal bevacizumab. Surgery for ERM secondary to healed toxoplasmosis infection has good anatomical outcome and reasonable visual improvement, when the surgery is done in a quiet eye.
