Epiretinal membrane: an overview and update.
Review in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a frequently diagnosed macular disease associated with aging, characterized by a fibrous membrane forming on the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and leading to visual dysfunctions such as metamorphopsia. Various hypotheses regarding the pathology of metamorphopsia have been proposed; however, the complete pathophysiologic mechanism underlying ERM remains unclear. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides detailed images enabling precise diagnosis and characterization of ERM, with several recent studies using the latest OCT imaging techniques. Surgical removal of ERM is the only treatment option; however, criteria for surgical intervention are not established, complicating the decision-making processes. Furthermore, the debate on whether simultaneous peeling of the ILM during ERM surgery enhances outcomes or poses unnecessary risks is ongoing, with no definite conclusion having yet been reached. This review also focuses on epiretinal proliferation, which is different from ERM and is characteristic of lamellar macular hole (LMH). Recently, diagnostic criteria for LMH and related diseases were proposed. Reports on effective surgical procedures for LMH exist, although more research is needed to confirm the long-term outcomes. Thus, this review article aims to provide an overview and updated knowledge of ERM, LMH, and related diseases.
