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

purposeApproximately 30% of patients with an open-globe injury (OGI) develop a secondary epiretinal membrane (ERM). This study was performed to assess whether internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling in the treatment of posterior segment OGI prevents ERM formation.

methodsThe medical records of 33 patients who underwent vitrectomy for posterior segment OGI from 2016 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Of these patients, 17 underwent ILM peeling during the vitrectomy and 16 did not. The patients' demographic and surgical data were collected. The associations of ILM peeling with the preoperative findings of posterior segment OGI and development of a postoperative ERM were analyzed. Student's

resultsAn ERM developed in three eyes (17.6%) in the ILM peeling group and in eight eyes (50.0%) in the nonpeeling group (

conclusionPreventative treatment with ILM peeling contributed to decreased development of an ERM in patients with OGI involving areas near the fovea.
