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

objectiveThe purpose was to explore the effect of cataract surgery on postoperative macular edema and visual acuity in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

methods88 patients with diabetic retinopathy treated in our hospital (December 2019-December 2020) were chosen as research subjects and divided into experimental group of 44 patients (52 eyes) and control group of 44 patients (54 eyes) according to the odd and even admission numbers. The control group received laser photocoagulation treatment, while the experimental group underwent cataract surgery. The central macular thickness (CMT) and visual acuity of the two groups after treatment were detected to evaluate the therapeutic effect of different treatment methods on diabetic retinopathy.

resultsNo obvious differences in sex ratio, average age, average course of disease, average weight, average BMI, average glycosylated hemoglobin, and residence were found between the two groups (

conclusionCataract surgery is a reliable method to improve visual acuity and reduce serum inflammatory indicators in patients with diabetic retinopathy, with better clinical effect than laser photocoagulation, which is recommended for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
