Comprehensive retinal vascular measurements: a novel association with renal function in type 2 diabetic patients in China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
To examine the association between various retinal vascular measurements and microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes in a northwestern China study. Data from 911 patients with type 2 diabetes were analyzed. Novel retinal vascular measurements from the whole vascular tree were extracted using a validated fully automatic computer program. Retinal vascular measurements were analyzed continuously and categorically for associations with microalbuminuria using multiple logistic regressions, adjusted for related variables. In logistic regression adjusting for multiple variables, microalbuminuria was associated with smaller peripheral arteriolar caliber, larger peripheral venular caliber, larger arteriolar tortuosity, and smaller arteriolar fractal dimension (p = 0.028, p < 0.001, p = 0.038, p = 0.035, respectively). In further categorical analyses, microalbuminuria was related to smaller peripheral arteriolar caliber [T1 vs. T3: odds ratio (OR) 2.029; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.186-3.473], larger peripheral venular caliber (T1 vs. T3: OR 0.609; 95% CI 0.362-1.024), and smaller arteriolar fractal dimension (T1 vs. T3: OR 1.659; 95% CI 1.028-2.675). Microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes is associated with both retinal vascular caliber and geometry. These noninvasive vascular measurements serve as potential preclinical markers to identify populations at high risk of early kidney disease in the course of diabetes.
