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 determine the influence of mild non-foveal involving epiretinal membrane (ERM) on visual outcome in eyes with multifocal intraocular lens (MIOL) implantation.
methodsPatients with history of MIOL implantation were screened for the presence of ERM using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) at postoperative 6 months. Ninety-one eyes with mild non-foveal involving ERM and history of MIOL implantation were compared with 83 age-matched controls without ERM and history of MIOL implantation. The visual acuity (corrected and uncorrected) and visual quality (contrast sensitivity, Strehl ratio, area ratio, and higher-order aberrations; HOAs) of the eyes with mild non-foveal involving ERM were compared with the data of the age-matched control group.
resultsThere was no difference in visual acuity between the groups at baseline and postoperative 6 months. The mild non-foveal involving ERM group showed significantly low contrast sensitivity at a visual angle of 4.0°, 2.5°, 1.0°, and 0.64° under scotopic conditions (P = .048, P = .025, P = .003, and P = .02, respectively) and 4.0°, 1.0°, and 0.64° under photopic conditions (P = .028, P = .002, and P = .001, respectively). The mean area ratio of the mild non-foveal involving ERM group was 45.13 ± 10.93, which was significantly lower than that of the control group, which measured 50.34 ± 12.66 (P = .044).
conclusionA mild non-foveal involving ERM has no effect on visual acuity, but it reduces visual quality in eyes with MIOL implantation. A thorough screening using SD-OCT is warranted for this condition when considering MIOL implantation.
