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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of T1 and T2-mapping techniques in evaluating early Type 2 diabetic cataracts.

methodsTotally, 28 patients with Type 2 diabetes was prospectively collected, and 28 non-diabetic patients were collected as control group. All patients included had ophthalmological exploration and all patients underwent orbital MRI examination with T1 and T2-mapping on a Siemens-Skyra 3.0T scanner. T1 and T2 values of the lens nucleus were measured by region of interest (ROI) method based on Siemens-Syngo workstation. Two sample

resultsIn Type 2 diabetes group, the T1 value was 626.7 ± 56.8, T2 value was 29.4 ± 5.6. In non-diabetic group, the T1 value was 581.6 ± 64.7, T2 value was 24.8 ± 8.6. The T1 and T2 values of the lens in diabetic group were significantly higher than those in control group (

conclusionT1 and T2-mapping technique can sensitively reflect the alterative relaxation time of lens in diabetic patients. This technique can find abnormal changes earlier than slit lamp, and may be effective diagnostic methods for early lens disease. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: T1 and T2-mapping techniques may be effective diagnostic methods for early lens disease, which can detect abnormal changes earlier than slit lamp examination.
