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 purpose of this study was to investigate changes in visual function following surgery and identify predictors of postoperative visual function in patients with idiopathic epiretinal membrane (iERM). Methods: This retrospective study included 37 eyes with iERM. Macular structure was assessed using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA), whereas visual function was evaluated using best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and microperimetry. All parameters were measured preoperatively (baseline) and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Associations between macular structural parameters and visual function outcomes were analyzed. Results: Central retinal thickness (CRT) decreased significantly at both 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Parafoveal vessel density (PFVD) of the deep capillary plexus (DCP) and BCVA improved significantly at 3 months, with no significant changes observed between 3 and 6 months. Retinal sensitivity (RS) and fixation stability (FS) demonstrated significant improvement at 6 months, whereas macular integrity (MI) showed no significant postoperative changes. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that baseline PFVD of the DCP was a significant predictor of postoperative BCVA. Logistic regression analysis identified baseline PFVD of the DCP as an independent predictor of postoperative FS improvement. Conclusions: BCVA, RS, and FS improve significantly following iERM surgery, with BCVA improving earlier than microperimetry parameters. A higher baseline PFVD of the DCP is a significant prognostic factor for better BCVA and FS improvement. Translational Relevance: Microperimetry offers an objective and quantitative evaluation of macular functional changes after iERM surgery. PFVD of the DCP, as measured by OCTA, can serve as a valuable predictor of BCVA and FS outcomes postoperatively.
