Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the thickness and volume profiles of each retinal layer in postoperative patients with epiretinal membranes.Twenty-four patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for epiretinal membrane were included. The best corrected visual acuity, thickness, and volume were recorded from the medical records through a retrospective review. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography was used to measure the average thickness and volume of each retinal layer before surgery and 6 months postoperatively.All 24 patients were monitored for 60 months after surgery. In all Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) subfields, the thickness and volume of the retinal nerve fiber layer and the inner retinal layer decreased significantly. In contrast, the thickness and volume of the ganglion cell layer, inner nuclear layer, inner plexiform layer, and outer plexiform layer only decreased in some ETDRS subfields. Finally, there was no significant change in the thickness or volume of the outer nuclear layer (ONL), retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and photoreceptor layers in all ETDRS subfields.The thickness and volume of the inner retina layer decreased significantly after pars plana vitrectomy using ILM peeling. However, there was no significant change in the thickness and volume of the outer retinal layers (ONL, RPE, and photoreceptor) after surgery.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
