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

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a chronic microvascular retinal disorder leading to retinal nonperfusion and ischemia, is one of the leading causes of blindness among individuals of working age. Inflammation and neovascularization play important roles in the development of DR, especially proliferative DR (PDR). Therapies with Chinese medicines (CMs) that improve microcirculation complementary to conventional treatments increase the chances of delaying PDR development and improving visual acuity in diabetes patients. This review aimed to introduce promising CMs targeting DR patients in clinical practice, together with their underlying molecular mechanisms.
