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
purposeTo investigate retinal thickness parameters in the elderly with prediabetes mellitus (preDM) and type 2 DM without retinopathy (non-diabetic retinopathy [NDR]).
methodsThis cross-sectional study included a total of 1273 eyes without retinal pathologies of 699 volunteers aged ≥ 65 years were included. The eyes were categorized into non-DM (606 eyes), preDM (480 eyes), and NDR (187 eyes) groups according to their HbA1c levels. Fundus photography, swept-source optical coherence tomography, and comprehensive systemic examination were conducted. The thicknesses of the retinal nerve fiber layer in the macula (mRNFL) and peripapillary (pRNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC), and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL), as well as central subfield thickness (CST) and central foveal thickness (CFT) were investigated for their association with DM stage using linear mixed model.
resultsA statistically significant thinning of mRNFL was observed in preDM vs. non-DM and in NDR vs. preDM in 3/6 sectors. A significant thinning of pRNFL was observed in preDM vs. non-DM and in NDR vs. preDM in 2/12 sectors. Such DM stage-dependent thinning of RNFL was observed mainly in the temporal and superior sectors. GCIPL and GCC were less sensitive to reflect DM-dependent inner retinal thinning. CST and CFT were not significantly associated with different DM stages.
conclusionThe thinning of mRNFL in the temporal and superior sectors might be a sensitive parameter associated with early neurodegeneration in preDM and NDR.
