Diameter Changes of Retinal Vessels in Diabetic Retinopathy.
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purpose of reviewThe diameter of retinal vessels is an important source of information about retinal blood flow and metabolism. The purpose of the present study is to review how diameter changes of retinal vessels contribute to the development of diabetic retinopathy and may be a marker of the prognosis of the disease. RECENT
findingsThe early stages of diabetic retinopathy are accompanied with dilatation of the diameter of retinal vessels and reduced autoregulation. Diabetic retinopathy also shows regional differences in the macular area and the retinal periphery and accompanying differences in vascular reactivity in these areas. These differences may potentially become an important source of insight into the pathophysiology of the disease in the future. Diabetic retinopathy is accompanied with changes in the diameter regulation of retinal vessels. The potential of newly developed techniques for assessing retinal blood flow and metabolism, such as Doppler techniques, adaptive optics, and retinal oximetry, is promising and may potentially contribute to significant advances in our understanding of diabetic retinopathy which remains a major cause of visual impairment.
