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

purposeVital dyes are frequently used to visualize the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of the neuroretina. This study evaluated and compared the microstructure of the inner retina and visual function with and without brilliant blue G (BBG) staining for ILM peeling during idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. STUDY

designRetrospective, consecutive, interventional case series.

methodsFifty-five patients (55 eyes) with ERM underwent ILM peeling without dyes (non-dye group) and 55 patients (55 eyes) underwent ILM peeling with BBG staining (BBG group). The logMAR visual acuity (VA) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness were measured using optical coherence tomography at baseline and 12 months after surgery.

resultsLogMAR VA improved significantly in both groups at 12 months and the BBG group tended to be better than the non-dye group but with no significant difference between the groups (unpaired t-test, P = 0.490). The average GCC thickness significantly decreased in both groups; however, there was no difference in the rates of change in GCC thickness between the groups. The ratio of GCC thickness to total retinal thickness (%) was significantly higher in the BBG group in the superior quadrant at 12 months postoperatively (P = 0.010).

conclusionBBG-assisted ERM surgery resulted in better visual improvement and fewer structural changes in the inner retinal layers. BBG-assisted ILM peeling is safe both functionally and anatomically.
