Long-Term Outcome of Epiretinal Membrane Surgery in Patients with Internal Limiting Membrane Dehiscence.
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. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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 identify the effect of internal limiting membrane (ILM) dehiscence on surgical outcomes in eyes that have undergone epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal.
methodsConsecutive eyes with performed vitrectomy for ERM removal were included. Subjects were divided into two groups: patients with ILM dehiscence (group 1) and without ILM dehiscence (group 2). The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and retinal layer thickness before and after surgery were compared between the two groups.
resultsA total of 86 eyes were enrolled. Forty-six eyes (53.5%) showed ILM dehiscence before surgery. The baseline BCVAs were 0.46 ± 0.29 and 0.45 ± 0.25 in groups 1 and 2, respectively (
conclusionsILM dehiscence is a relatively common finding and associated with preoperative and postoperative increased IRLT, which results in worse surgical outcomes compared to the absence of ILM dehiscence in patients with ERM. Additionally, the final BCVA was significantly affected by its location and final IRLT in patients with ILM dehiscence.
