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

introductionPatients with diabetes have up to five times higher incidence of cataract, mainly at a younger age, and cataract in these patients progresses more rapidly than senile cataract, especially in eyes affected with sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (DR).

aimThis study aimed to investigate the risk factors associated with cataract development in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

methodsThis case-control cross-sectional study included 90 T2DM (56M/34F). Metabolic risk factors glycated hemoglobin (HbA

resultsAccording to the LOCS III, patients were divided into two groups: group 1-patients with clear crystalline lens, and group 2-patients with initial cataract. Compared to patients with a clear crystalline lens, those with initial cataract had longer diabetes duration (p = 0.002), higher HbA

conclusionsDiabetes duration and various metabolic risk factors, particularly poor glycemic control, hypercholesterolemia, DBP, and diabetic nephropathy's coexistence, are associated with cataract development in T2DM.
