Comparison of 27-Gauge 20,000 vs. 10,000 cuts per minute vitrectomy systems in epiretinal membrane surgery: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Recent advances in 27-gauge vitrectomy technology have led to the development of 20,000 cuts-per-minute (CPM; 20 K) systems aimed at enhancing surgical efficiency. While experimental data suggest that higher cutting rates may improve vitreous removal, clinical evidence directly comparing 20 K and 10 K (10,000 CPM) systems remains limited. This study compared the efficacy and safety of 27-gauge vitrectomy systems operating at 20 K versus 10 K in epiretinal membrane (ERM) surgery. In a single-center, single-masked, prospective randomized clinical trial, 66 eyes with idiopathic ERM were assigned to either the 20 K group (n = 33) or the 10 K group (n = 33). Patients with secondary ERM, prior vitreoretinal surgery, or coexisting retinal disease were excluded. Surgeries were performed by five retinal surgeons, with randomization stratified by surgeon. The 20 K group underwent surgery using the HYPERVIT
