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

contextAlimentary supplements may have beneficial effects on retinal microvasculature in diabetic patients. OBJECTIVE AND

designState-of-the-art imaging techniques were used to assess retinal microcirculation in diabetic patients in an observational study before and after 3 months treatment with a multinutrient complex including resveratrol, vitamins D3, C, E, essential fatty acids, trace elements (zinc and copper) and macular pigments (lutein and zeaxanthin)-Resvega. SUBJECTS AND

methodsFifteen subjects were included in this study. Adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy was used to measure the parameters of temporal retinal arterioles. Optical coherence tomography angiography was employed to assess foveal avascular zone and vessel densities of the superficial capillary plexus, deep capillary plexus and choricapillary plexus.

resultsAfter 3 months of treatment, there was a statistically significant median decrease in wall-to-lumen ratio (p=0.0001). The same tendencies were noticed for wall thickness values (p=0.008) and wall cross sectional area values (p=0.001). On the other side, no significant changes were noticed concerning the OCTA parameters.

conclusionsResvega seems to have a beneficial effect on the retinal arterioles in diabetic patients.
