High levels of FBS and HbA1c and their association with diabetic retinopathy: a study in the north of Iran.
Article in Journal of diabetes and metabolic disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Diabetic retinopathy, which is a common complication of diabetes, is one of the most common reasons of blindness in adults. There are several potential risk factors for diabetic retinopathy such as hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia (HLP), high fasting blood sugar (FBS), and high Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Yet, ethnicity is another factor which may contribute to diabetic retinopathy regardless of the potential risk factors mentioned. The aim of this study, therefore, is to find the risk factors associated with diabetic retinopathy in the north of Iran. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study including a total of 1,125 patients divided into three groups as follows: (i) patients with no diabetic retinopathy (NDR group; Results: Diabetic patients with retinopathy had significantly higher levels of FBS compared with those without retinopathy ( Conclusions: Higher levels of FBS and HbA1c were observed in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Monitoring and controlling of FBS and HbA1c of diabetic patients could prevent the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy.
