Risk factors and prevalence of diabetic retinopathy: A protocol for meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 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
backgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the serious complications of diabetes mellitus. Without further treatment, it can evolve into the stage of proliferation, which will lead to the formation of new blood vessels, vitreous hemorrhage, or anterior retinal hemorrhage, which will lead to severe vision loss and increase the risk of blindness.
methodsThe research literature on the risk factors of diabetic retinopathy published as of July 1, 2020 was searched through MEDLINE, Embase, ovid, Web of Science, Wanfang, CNKI, and other databases, The search strategy has been first developed in MEDLINE using MeSH subject headings combined with free-text terms and Stata12.0 software was used for meta-analysis.
resultsThis study is ongoing and the results will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval is not applicable, since this is an overview based on published articles. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The registration number is INPLASY202070107, the DOI number is 10.37766/inplasy2020.7.0107.
