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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to show the effect of increasing blood glucose level (BGL) on psychophysical visual function represents by visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in pseudophakic people living with diabetes (PDM). STUDY

designThis was quasi-experimental, quantitative study using a pretest-posttest approach.

methodsThe study was conducted at Gamalakhe community health centre located in Gamalakhe township and included a sample of 50 pseudophakic people living without diabetes mellitus (PWDM) and 50 pseudophakic PDM. BGL as well as psychophysical measurements of visual function were measured preprandial and postprandial. Visual acuity (VA) was measured at distance (4 m) and near (40 cm) using logMAR VA charts, and contrast sensitivity (CS) was measured at 50 cm using a Mars chart. The data collected were captured and subsequently analyzed using SPSS version 25.

resultsGlycemic changes measured preprandial and postprandial observed a mean increase of 2.06±1.35 mmol/L (

conclusionAcute hyperglycemic changes do not result in overall significant changes in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in pseudophakic PDM and PWDM for an increase in glycemia of 2 mmol/L. We recommend studies investigate if changes occur for glycemic increases exceeding 2 mmol/L.
