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

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to demonstrate a possible correlation between qualitative preoperative OCT morphological changes in epiretinal membrane (ERM) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Methods: A total of 201 patient eyes with idiopathic symptomatic ERM and cataracts were included in the retrospective study. Phacovitrectomy was performed between 2015 and 2019. Results: ERM was classified into five OCT morphotypes. The first three corresponded to the ERM classification according to Govetto et al., Stages 1-3 without a tractional component, while the last two each had a tractional component in the sense of a lamellar macular hole and vitreomacular traction. A significant difference in preoperative BCVA was observed between all OCT morphotypes ( Conclusion: Preoperative OCT morphological changes in the inner foveal layers have no significance in postoperative visual acuity prognosis in ERM, in contrast to lesions of the outer central retinal layers.
