Incidence and risk factors of progressive nasal inner nuclear layer thickening after surgical peeling of epiretinal membrane.

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
To assess incidence and risk factors of postoperative progressive nasal inner nuclear layer (INL) thickening after epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. Progressive nasal INL thickening was defined as 1.5-fold increase in thickness of nasal INL after ERM surgery compared to preoperative examination. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was done to compare the cumulative risk ratio between groups stratified by presence of progressive nasal INL thickening. Logistic regression was performed to identify possible risk factors. Progressive nasal INL thickening occurred in 13.0% of ERM removal patients. Patients without progressive nasal INL thickening showed better visual acuity recovery compared to patients with nasal INL thickening (p = 0.029). Presence of cystoid space in inner retinal layer before surgery (odds ratio [OR] = 0.143, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.028-0.736; p = 0.020), older age (OR = 0.896, 95% CI 0.817-0.982, p = 0.020), and thicker preoperative central macular thickness (OR = 0.994, 95% CI 0.988-1.000, p = 0.039) were correlated inversely with thickening of nasal INL. Correlation between nasal INL thickness and postoperative visual outcome was significant. Absence of cystoid space before ERM surgery, younger age, and thinner central macular thickness were risk factors for progressive postoperative nasal INL thickening. Progressive nasal INL thickening may serve as a new biomarker for worsened visual symptom after ERM surgery.
