Ocular Blood Flow Changes Impact Visual Acuity Gain after Surgical Treatment for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundIdiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) is a common eye disease, which can be treated by surgical removal of the fibrotic tissue. Morphological outcome is generally evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Here, we investigate the impact of surgery on hemodynamics of the posterior pole, using OCT angiography (OCTA).
methodsPatients with unilateral iERM and indication for treatment were included. OCT and OCTA images of the posterior pole were obtained preoperatively and 3-months after 23G vitrectomy with membrane peeling. Parameters of interest included full retinal perfusion, choriocapillaris perfusion (CCP), Sattler's layer perfusion (SLP), and Haller's layer perfusion, which were evaluated longitudinally and also compared to unaffected fellow eyes. Using these parameters, multiple regression analyses were used to predict visual outcomes.
resultsSixty-three iERM eyes were recruited, which initially showed a significant bigger central retinal thickness (
conclusionIn this OCTA study, iERM itself does not affect the choroidal circulation. However, preoperative choroidal circulation will be a biomarker to know the influence on the choroidal circulation after ERM surgery and may be considered as a predictor for visual outcome.
