Risk factors for epiretinal membrane surgery after initial pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Article in Fujita medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of, and risk factors for, epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery after an initial pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).
methodsThe records of consecutive patients (3,495 eyes of 3,387 patients) who underwent RRD repair at Fujita Health University Hospital between January 1, 2008, and February 28, 2019, were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 1,736 eyes without an ERM in preoperative optical coherence tomography were included in this study.
resultsThe incidence of ERM surgery after RRD repair was 2.4%. The mean time from RRD repair to ERM surgery was 19.5±27.2 months. The odds ratios after adjusting for age and sex were as follows: the preoperative visual acuity (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution, logMAR), 2.17 (p=0.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-5.16); axial length, 1.38 (p=0.002; 95% CI, 1.12-1.72); 20-gauge vitreous surgery instruments, 3.82 (p<0.0001; 95% CI, 2.02-7.16); internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, 0.28 (p=0.033; 95% CI, 0.05-0.92). ERM surgery improved visual acuity from 0.36 to 0.01 logMAR, even at ≥1.5 years after RRD repair.
conclusionsCareful follow-up is required in the following cases: long axial length before RRD repair, low visual acuity, use of 20-gauge vitreous surgery instruments, and a lack of ILM peeling.
