Review in World journal of diabetes, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06066021 (Evaluation of a Health Education Program for Type 2 Diabetes Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death, and diabetic retinopathy the leading cause of blindness in working age adults in the United States in 2010. Diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia associated with either hypoinsulinemia or insulin resistance, and over time, this chronic metabolic condition may lead to various complications including kidney failure, heart attacks, and retinal degeneration. In order to better understand the molecular basis of this disease and its complications, animal models have been the primary approach used to investigate the effects of diabetes on various tissues or cell types of the body, including the retina. However, inherent to these animal models are critical limitations that make the insight gained from these models challenging to apply to the human pathology. These difficulties in translating the knowledge obtained from animal studies have led a growing number of research groups to explore the diabetes complications, especially diabetic retinopathy, on tissues from human donors. This review summarizes the data collected from diabetic patients at various stages of diabetic retinopathy and classifies the data based upon their relevance to the main aspects of diabetic retinopathy: retinal vasculature dysfunction, inflammation, and neurodegeneration. This review discusses the importance of those studies to discriminate and establish the relevance of the findings obtained from animal models but also the limitations of such approaches.
