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

backgroundThis study aimed to find the correlation of Gensini score with retinal vessel diameter and arteriovenous ratio in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).

methodsThis study included 120 senile CHD patients as the CHD group and 100 healthy individuals as the normal group (NG). Gensini score was used to evaluate the severity of coronary artery lesions. Central retinal artery equivalents (CRAE), central retinal venular equivalents (CRVE), and arteriovenous ratio (AVR) were measured.

resultsCHD group has lower CRAE and AVR than NG, while higher CRVE was observed in NG. CRAE and AVR in UAP (unstable angina pectoris) and AMI (acute myocardial infarction) groups showed reduction (stable angina pectoris); however, enhanced CRVE and Gensini scores in UA and AMI groups were observed as compared to the SAP group. CRAE and AVR in moderate and severe groups were reduced to a greater extent compared to the mild groups, while enhanced CRVE and Gensini scores were observed more often in the severe group than the mild group. CRAE and AVR were negatively correlated with the Gensini score; however, CRVE was positively correlated with the Gensini score.

conclusionAVR is expected to be a noninvasive index to diagnose and predict senile CHD, which has a certain evaluation value. Diabetes, smoking history, and TC are independent risk factors of senile CHD.
