1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We aimed to identify prognostic risk factors for visual deterioration in eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) through long-term follow-up. In this retrospective observational case series, we examined consecutive eyes with ERM and OAG over a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Visual outcomes and prognostic factors were analyzed in patients' eyes undergoing ERM peeling with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (peeling group) and only observation (observation group). Eyes followed for less than 2 years after PPV were excluded. Among 100 eyes from 84 patients, 31 and 69 eyes were classified into peeling and observation groups, respectively. Over the follow-up period, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the observation group worsened from 0.03 ± 0.19 to 0.14 ± 0.33 (P = 0.0003), whereas that in the peeling group remained stable. Multivariate analysis revealed microcystic macular edema (MME) (odds ratio: 4.97; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.52 to 16.2; P = 0.008) and thin central foveal thickness (CFT) (odds ratio: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.98 to 1.00; P = 0.033) as risk factors for visual acuity decay. The presence of MME and thin CFT were risk factors for long-term visual deterioration in eyes with ERM and concomitant OAG. Vitrectomy with ERM peeling for eyes with OAG may be considered to preserve BCVA.
