Osteopontin in vitreous and idiopathic epiretinal membranes.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 investigate osteopontin (OPN) expression in vitreous and in related idiopathic epiretinal membranes (ERMs), with respect to VEGF-A, IL8, MIP1α, IL6, and IL33, and correlate OPN expression with disease staging.
methodsFifteen (15) vitreous and allied ERMs were collected at the time of therapeutic vitreoretinal surgery. Additional 5 vitreous and 10 ERMs (historical collection) were used. Biochemical and molecular analysis of OPN was performed in clear vitreous, vitreal pelleted cells, and ERMs. Double-immunofluorescence analysis (OPN - GFAP and OPN - αSMA) was performed on paraffin and whole-mounted ERMs. Vitreal OPN levels were correlated to those of VEGF-A, IL8, MIP1α, IL6, and IL33.
resultsHigh OPN levels were observed in vitreal samples, and OPN transcripts were amplified in vitreal cells and related ERMs. OPN immunoreactivity was found in ERMs, mainly in GFAP-bearing (Muller cells) and to a less extend in αSMA-expressing (myofibroblasts) cells. OPN levels were highest at early stages of ERM formation and positively correlated to VEGF-A and MIP1α.
conclusionsHigh OPN levels in vitreous, OPN transcripts in vitreal cells/ERMs, OPN immunoreactivity in activated Müller cells and contractile myofibroblasts, as well as the correlation with VEGF-A and MIP1α fulfill the potential involvement of OPN in both inflammation and tissue remodeling that takes part in vitreoretinal interface disorders. The highest OPN levels at early stages of ERM formation would prospect OPN as a potential biomarker for disease severity.
