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.

Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy has been an important cause of blindness in young and middle age adults in the United States. Epidemiologic studies have quantitated the risk and have described potentially causal factors associated with many ocular complications of diabetes and other facets of this disease. A review of recent advances in diagnosis, treatment, temporal trends, and health care for diabetic retinopathy was conducted. Since the early 1980's, there have been studies of the variability of diabetic retinopathy in populations around the world and subpopulations in the United States which have demonstrated the high prevalences and incidences of this condition. Observational studies and clinical trials have documented the importance of glycemic and blood pressure control in the development and progression of this disease. There are some differences in the importance of confounders in different populations. Epidemiologic data have helped understand the importance of health care and health education in prevention and treatment of this condition. Observational studies have documented the importance of this disease on quality of life. Although there have been advances in understanding the distribution, causes, and severity of diabetic retinopathy, this is ever changing and requires continued monitoring. This is important because the increasing burden of diabetes will place a greater burden on the population and the medical care systems that will be caring for them.
