Novel Optical Coherence Tomography Parameters as Prognostic Factors for Stage 3 Epiretinal Membranes.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeWe aimed to describe the visual prognosis of eyes with ectopic inner foveal layers (EIFLs) after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled patients diagnosed with stage 3 ERM based on the EIFL staging scheme who underwent ERM surgery with a minimum follow-up period of 12 months. Central foveal thickness (CFT), EIFL thickness, and the length of the ellipsoid zone defect were evaluated at baseline and at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery based on pre- and postoperative swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The association of EIFL thickness and other OCT parameters with pre- and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was analyzed.
resultsSixty-nine eyes with stage 3 ERMs were analyzed. Preoperative BCVA was correlated with preoperative CFT (
conclusionsEIFL thickness should be considered a negative prognostic factor for postoperative anatomical and functional recovery in patients with stage 3 ERMs.
