Vitrectomy in Diabetic Macular Edema:: A Swept-source OCT Angiography Study.
Article in Ophthalmology science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Purpose: The foveal avascular zone (FAZ) has been reported to decrease after anti-VEGF injections in diabetic macular edema (DME) in the long term. This study aimed to present the changes in swept-source OCT angiography after vitrectomy in patients with DME. Design: Retrospective interventional study. Participants: Thirty-five eyes were included (mean age: 62 years). Methods: Patients were followed for 12 months after vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling for DME. Main Outcome Measures: The following parameters were measured: central retinal thickness (CRT), central choroidal thickness, superficial FAZ, deep FAZ (dFAZ), and vessel density in the superficial and deep retinal layers (dVD). Results: The CRT and superficial FAZ significantly decreased after surgery (401 μm-338 μm; Conclusions: The superficial FAZ decreases after vitrectomy, which might indicate that vitrectomy has a protective effect on DME, similar to anti-VEGF injections. Prognostic factors for better final functional results are better initial VA and lower CRT before vitrectomy, in addition to a lower dFAZ diameter and a higher dVD at the moment of edema resolution.
