Clinical Features of Vitreomacular Traction Syndrome with Peripheral Vitreoretinal Adhesion.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeTo retrospectively review and analyze the clinical and imaging data of patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome (VMTS) with strong peripheral vitreoretinal adhesion. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThis retrospective case-series study involved 4 eyes of 4 VMTS patients with vitreoretinal adhesion in both the macular region and the periphery who underwent vitreous surgery. In all 4 cases, preoperative refraction, fundoscopic findings, optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings, and intraoperative findings were evaluated.
resultsThe preoperative fundoscopy and OCT findings revealed fibrous membranes around the optic nerve head in 3 eyes. Thickened posterior vitreous membranes extending from the posterior pole to the periphery were observed in all eyes. Apparent VMTS or epimacular membrane was also found in the fellow eyes of 2 patients. The preoperative refractive errors ranged from +0.5 diopters (D) to +2.75 D (mean, +1.13 D). Intraoperatively, a thickened posterior vitreous membrane was found strongly adhered to the retina in the macula regions, optic nerve head, and periphery. In 2 eyes, when artificial posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was created, an iatrogenic tear developed in the periphery.
conclusionThe features of VMTS that cause strong peripheral vitreoretinal adhesion include the preoperative presence of a thickened posterior vitreous membrane over a wide area, hypermetropia, and a short axial length.
