Peripapillary microvasculature changes after vitrectomy in epiretinal membrane via swept-source OCT angiography.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo evaluate the peripapillary microvasculature changes in patients with epiretinal membrane (ERM) following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
methodMedical records and multimodal imaging data of 33 eyes after PPV for ERM were retrospectively reviewed. Peripapillary SS-OCTA images of 6×6 mm
resultThe mean pVD in SCP and DCP decreased at 6- and 12-months follow-up. In sectoral analysis, superior, inferior, and temporal quadrants pVD in SCP and DCP were significantly reduced at 1 year after vitrectomy (all p < 0.05). Meanwhile, inferior quadrants pVD in SCP and DCP showed the earliest significant reduction at 6-months (p = 0.022 and 0.048, respectively). A reduction of post-operative mean pVD in DCP was significantly greater in patients with diabetic retinopathy (p = 0.043).
conclusionPeripapillary capillary density significantly decreased after surgical removal of ERM. Vitrectomy with ILM peeling can cause peripapillary microvascular damage starting in inferior sector.
