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

aimTo determine the rate and possible contributors for post-pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) epiretinal membrane (ERM) in patients treated for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

methodsThis prospective, nonrandomized study comprised 47 consecutive patients (47 eyes) with acute RRD treated with 23 G post-PPV. All participants were followed prospectively for 6mo for the development of ERM using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Preoperative and intraoperative data were collected by questionnaires to surgeons. Main outcome measure was the percentage of the ERM formation following post-PPV for RRD.

resultsERM developed postoperatively in 23 eyes (48.9%), none necessitated surgical removal. There was a statistically significant difference between patients with and without ERM postoperatively in preoperative best corrected visual acuity (median logMAR 1.9

conclusionERM is a frequent post RRD finding, and its development is associated with macula-off RRD.
