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
purposeThis study aims to describe spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics and assess surgical outcomes for bare retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) tear associated with the epiretinal membrane (ERM).
methodsThis retrospective study comprised 158 consecutive patients with idiopathic ERM with (group A) or without (group B) bare RNFL (19 and 139 patients, respectively) who underwent vitrectomy between March 2016 and May 2019. Surgical videos and pre- and postoperative OCT images were reviewed to characterize bare RNFL and ILM tear and analyze postoperative visual outcomes.
resultsTypically, the torn ILM is seen as a mono- or multi-layered thin scrolled membrane in OCT, correlated frequently with areas of RNFL schisis. On the near-infrared fundus images, a hypo-reflective band corresponding to rolled-up edge of torn ILM and ERM was identified. The bare RNFL area was located adjacent to and peripheral to this band and showed a less-wrinkled retina preoperatively. Mean logMAR BCVA and central foveal thickness (CFT) progressively improved in both groups. However, group A had greater mean CFT change than group B (P = 0.001).
conclusionTypical appearances of bare RNFL and ILM tear associated with ERM were identified. Thorough evaluation of preoperative OCT is important for vitreoretinal surgeons to recognize bare RNFL and ILM tear to minimize surgical trauma.
