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
purposeBinocular visual impairment related to unilateral idiopathic epiretinal membranes (uiERM) and its association with vision-related quality of life (VR-QoL) has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to explore binocular visual parameters (distance binocular best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), aniseikonia, stereopsis) and VR-QoL in patients with uiERM.
methodsWe carried out a prospective single-centre cohort study. The following data were collected: VR-QoL (NEI VFQ-25), distance monocular and binocular BCVA, horizontal and vertical metamorphopsia (M-charts test), horizontal and vertical aniseikonia (NAT TEST) and stereoacuity (TNO test). Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate factors influencing VR-QoL.
resultsForty-six patients with uiERM and visual complaints were included. Aniseikonia was found in 40 (80%) participants. Stereoacuity was poor (above 120 s of arc) in 46 (100%) participants. Distance monocular BCVA, horizontal metamorphopsia and horizontal aniseikonia were the factors associated with VR-QoL in patients with uiERM.
conclusionsIn subjects presenting uiERM, aniseikonia is frequently found and stereopsis is constantly impaired. We advocate quantitative testing of metamorphopsia and aniseikonia in addition to BCVA for the assessment of global visual function. Further investigations are needed to evaluate the effect of vitrectomy on these parameters and VR-QoL.
