Longitudinal Change of Choroidal Thickness after Pars Plana Vitrectomy for Idiopathic Epiretinal Membrane.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study aimed to investigate changes in choroidal thickness after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with and without air tamponade in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). We retrospectively reviewed 61 patients with ERM who underwent a 25-gauge transconjunctival sutureless PPV. The patients were divided into two groups: the air tamponade group (30 eyes) and the nontamponade group (31 eyes). Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) was analyzed over 12 months. No significant differences were seen between the two groups at baseline. For all patients, the SFCT was significantly thicker at 1 month after surgery and significantly thinner at 6 and 12 months after surgery than preoperative values. In the subgroup analysis, there was no significant difference in SFCT 3 months after surgery compared with the preoperative values in both groups, but SFCT was significantly lower 6 months after surgery in both groups. In conclusion, our results showed that choroidal thickness temporarily increased after surgery and then gradually decreased until 12 months after the PPV for ERM.
