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

To analyze the early microvascular retinal changes and oscillatory potentials alterations secondary to diabetic retinal damage, 44 eyes of 22 diabetic patients without and with mild diabetic retinopathy (DR) and 18 eyes of 9 healthy controls were examined. All subjects underwent spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA), and electroretinography of oscillatory potentials (OPs). At OCTA, vessel area density (VAD), vessel length fraction (VLF), and fractal dimension (FD) were significantly reduced in the superficial vascular plexus (SVP), VLF and FD in the intermediate capillary plexus (ICP), and FD in the deep capillary plexus (DCP) in the diabetic group compared to the control group. The amplitude (A) of OP2, OP3, OP4 and the sum of OPs were significantly reduced in the diabetic group versus the controls, and the last two parameters were reduced also in patients without DR versus the controls. Moreover, in the diabetic group, a significant direct correlation was found between the A of OP1, OP2, OP3 and sOP and the VLF and FD in the SVP, while a statistically significant inverse correlation was found between the A of OP3 and OP4 and the VDI in the ICP and DCP. The reduced oscillatory potentials suggest a precocious involvement of amacrine cells in diabetic eyes, independently of DR presence, and their correlation with vascular parameters underlines the relevance of the crosstalk between these cells and vascular components in the pathophysiology of this chronic disease.
