Retinal structure-function correlation in type 2 diabetes.
Observational study in Eye (London, England), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo examine the relationship of visual function as assessed by visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) to macular structural and microvascular measures on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography (OCTA) in individuals with diabetes.
methodsThis is a prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary eye care centre in India. Right eyes of 121 adults with type 2 diabetes with no diabetic retinopathy (DR), mild or moderate nonproliferative DR (NPDR) were examined. Severe NPDR, proliferative DR and diabetic macular oedema were excluded. Participants underwent assessment of glycated haemoglobin (HbA
resultsOf the total of 121 eyes, 89 had No DR, 32 had mild to moderate NPDR. In the No DR group, the LogMAR acuity was significantly and negatively correlated to central subfoveal thickness (CST) (rho = -0.420), macular vessel density (rho = -0.270) and perfusion (rho = -0.270). (ii) Contrast sensitivity correlated to foveal avascular zone circularity (rho = 0.297); (iii) mfERG P1 response densities were better with higher macular perfusion index (rho = 0.240). In the NPDR group, the LogMAR acuity also showed a significant negative correlation to CST (rho = -0.379). Other correlations were not significant.
conclusionRetinal and visual functional changes are evident in diabetic patients with No DR and are correlated to subclinical retinal structural changes detectable using multimodal imaging.
