Prevalence and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy in diabetic patients: A community based cross-sectional study.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 88 papers, 5 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
In China, there is a significant lack of awareness of diabetes and its complications. Screening of diabetic retinopathy has important for early detection, prevention, and treatment. This large, cross-sectional study aimed to characterize the demographic, physical, serological, and ocular characteristics of subjects with diabetes mellitus in Shijiazhuang, China. It also aimed to associate these characteristics with the presence of diabetic retinopathy.From May 2, 2018 to August 25, 2019, under diabetes care program, the diabetic patients (n = 1008) were subjected to standardized questionnaires to collect demographical characteristics. Also, telescreens and laboratory tests were performed for the enrolled patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate factors associated with diabetic retinopathy.Forty percent of diabetics in its population had some form of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathic patients were likely to be elder (P = .0003), men (P = .018), hypertensive (P < .0001), and had high body mass index (P < .0001), metabolic abnormalities, and longer duration of diabetes (P < .0001). Higher intraocular pressure (P = .0008), fasting blood glucose (P < .0001), serum total cholesterol (P < .0001), serum triglyceride (P = .0006), % glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (P < .0001), and disc asymmetry including cup-disc ratio (P = .041) reported in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Age (P = .049), male sex (P = .048), hypertension (P = .048), duration of diabetes (P = .012), diabetic neuropathy (P = .048), diabetic nephropathy (P = .048), diabetic foot ulcer (P = .041), foot amputation (P = .042), fasting blood glucose (P = .022), serum total cholesterol (P = .028), serum triglyceride (P = .035), and HbA1c (P = .042) were associated with diabetic retinopathy.Diabetic retinopathy was the most common ocular fundus disease in diabetic patients. Also, aging, the other comorbidities, and metabolic syndrome are associated with diabetic retinopathy.Level of Evidence: III.
