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

purposeTo examine (1) the retinal structure by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and function by means of multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) in eyes with and without nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) (2) for correspondence between local retinal function and OCT zones with retinal lesions.

methodsOne hundred and thirty-two eligible participants (30 with nonproliferative DR (NPDR) and 102 with diabetes with no DR) underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination, optical coherence tomography for retinal thickness measures, mfERG, and ultra-wide field fundus photography. OCT Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid was overlaid on to mfERG plots.

resultsThose with NPDR had significantly thicker full retinal measures in the nine (ETDRS) zones compared to no DR. mfERG P1 latencies in rings 1-6 were significantly delayed, while the response densities in rings 4-6 were lower in the NPDR group. Significant negative correlation was noted between OCT thickness and mfERG P1 response densities in many ETDRS zones. Significant positive correlation was noted between P1 latencies and OCT thickness in a few zones. The combination of cystic spaces, microaneurysms, and hard exudates were present in all zones and were associated with a decrease in P1 response densities compared to no lesions. Reduced P1 response densities were associated with a sporadic delay in the mfERG latencies and vice versa. The number of lesions did not show correspondence to the mfERG measures.

conclusionsIn eyes with NPDR, retinal function is differentially correlated with the DR lesions on OCT and can be assessed using multimodal imaging modalities.
