Idiopathic epiretinal membrane: progression and timing of surgery.
Review in Eye (London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 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
Primary idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM) is a common finding, particularly so in the era of high street spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Clinicians often face the dilemma of early versus delayed surgical intervention in the management of iERM with macular pucker, especially in those patients with good vision. The aim of this review is to assist clinicians in their understanding of the natural history of iERM to enable decision-making and optimally advising patients. We systematically searched the Medline and EMBASE databases for relevant publications from 2001 onwards using defined search terms with pre-planned inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this article, we review the epidemiology of iERM, classifications, their effect on visual function, the natural history and factors predicting progression and finally, factors which might predict the visual outcome with surgery.
