Socioeconomic status and diabetic retinopathy in India.
Review in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Socioeconomic status (SES) may influence the general health and the health-seeking behavior of an individual. Understanding the disease prevalence in different social strata may lead us to the important linkages that SES might have with diabetic retinopathy (DR). The knowledge on the prevalence of DR in the community based on their SES may help design strategies to provide affordable, last-mile care to the population most at risk of this blinding complication of diabetes mellitus. Our systematic search for population-based Indian studies found three studies in the past three decades that evaluated the effect of socioeconomic factors on the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy. The data on the prevalence in various socioeconomic strata was equivocal and the study settings were mostly urban. The parameters used to assess the SES differed among studies. This underscores the need for further research on SES-related diabetic retinopathy complications in India. Future studies should employ more robust socioeconomic scales to define the divide better.
