1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 investigate the anatomical and functional changes in areas containing paravascular abnormalities (PVA) in eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM) after surgery.

methodsTwenty-eight eyes with concurrent idiopathic ERM and PVA were enrolled in this prospective study. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and areas of PVA in the superficial and deep capillary levels detected on en face optical coherence tomography were measured preoperatively and 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Retinal sensitivity in selected PVA lesions was evaluated by microperimetry preoperatively and 1 and 6 months postoperatively.

resultsThe areas of PVA at the superficial capillary level before and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery measured 1.65 ± 1.27, 0.44 ± 0.62, 0.40 ± 0.64, and 0.38 ± 0.62 mm

conclusionPVA not only improves anatomically but also functionally after ERM surgery. Vitrectomy can improve not only central vision but also retinal sensitivity in areas of PVA.
