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

The benefit of pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for tractional macular edema and diffuse nontractional macular edema in diabetic retinopathy has been reported. Although these studies had included various stages, use of conventional 20-gauge vitrectomy system, small number of cases, single-center study, and lack of retinal structure measurements were limitations. We compared one-year outcomes of 25-gauge vitrectomy for refractory diabetic macular edema with or without the tractional proliferative membrane in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) eyes and examined the prognostic factors for postoperative visual acuity. A total of consecutive 116 PDR eyes of 116 patients that underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy for tractional macular edema (TME group: 56 eyes) or nontractional macular edema (nTME group: 60 eyes) at six centers were retrospectively reviewed. Visual acuity (VA), central macular thickness (CMT), complications, and postoperative treatments before and 12 months after vitrectomy were compared. Mean VA improved significantly in each group (both
