1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 investigate the effects of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on visual field sensitivities in eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM) accompanied by glaucoma with hemifield defect and myopia. STUDY

designRetrospective clinical study

methodsWe reviewed clinical records of patients with ERM who underwent vitrectomy and ERM/ILM peeling. We first collected clinical data of eyes with ERM and glaucoma with hemifield defect. We recorded visual field sensitivities at 52 points and analyzed differences between before and after surgery. We then compared the changes in visual field sensitivity between glaucomatous and normal hemifields. Next, we collected ERM eyes without glaucoma and stratified them into two groups based on axial length (threshold = 26.0 mm). In these eyes, we also recorded visual field sensitivities at 52 points and analyzed differences between before and after surgery.

resultsThe study included 18 eyes with ERM and glaucoma with hemifield defect (11 men; mean age, 68.3 ± 7.2 years). These eyes showed significant sensitivity reductions at 5/26 points, mainly in the nasal area of the glaucomatous hemifield, whereas only 1/26 points exhibited significant sensitivity reduction in the normal hemifield. In eyes with axial length <26.0 mm and axial length ≥26.0 mm, 29 peripheral and seven superior peripheral points showed significant improvements in visual field sensitivities, respectively.

conclusionVisual field sensitivity reduction occurred mainly in the nasal region of the glaucomatous hemifield. Differences in axial length alone were not a prominent risk factor for reduced visual field sensitivity after ILM peeling in eyes with ERM.
