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

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a novel non-invasive imaging modality for 3-dimensional visualization of retinal and optic nerve capillary networks. In this article, a comprehensive review of relevant original articles in the PubMed database was performed using the search terms "diabetic retinopathy," "diabetic macular edema," "diabetes mellitus," and "optical coherence tomography angiography." OCTA was found to detect microvascular changes early in diabetes mellitus, even before they become clinically evident. Morphological and qualitative assessment of vascular changes can help to determine the pathophysiological processes, activity, treatment, and follow-up of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Vessel density and foveal avascular zone are the most investigated quantified indices shown to be early predictors of DR, correlated to DR severity and visual function, and useful in predicting response to treatment. OCTA has shown to be a promising alternative to fluorescein angiography in the management of DR. Further studies are warranted to determine the role of OCTA in the routine clinical management of DR.
