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

In the Beijing Eye Study, a population-based study carried out in 2001, 2006, and 2011, prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) was 2.9 ± 0.3 % (95 % confidence interval 2.3, 3.5) per individual in 2011. Correspondingly, only 1.1 % of blindness and 0.8 % of visual impairment were caused by DR in East Asia. As in other populations, prevalence, severity, and 10-year incidence of DR were associated with higher levels of HbA1c, higher blood glucose concentration, longer known duration of diabetes, lower educational level, and higher blood pressure. Interestingly, the presence, severity, and 10-year incidence of DR were additionally correlated with higher estimated cerebrospinal fluid pressure and shorter ocular length. Higher cerebrospinal fluid pressure may lead to higher retinal vein pressure and subsequently higher retinal capillary blood pressure increasing fluid and blood extravasation. Shorter axial length or hyperopia may be associated with higher intraocular concentration of cytokines. Aging of the society, improvements in medical infrastructure, and lifestyle changes may profoundly increase prevalence of, and burden by, DR in China in the future.
