OCT Angiography Features in Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 and 2.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: To study the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and the vessel densities (VD) in diabetic patients using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) and inner retinal layer changes to compare patients affected by type 1 diabetes (DM1) and type 2 diabetes (DM2). Methods: Cross-sectional observational study involving 150 eyes of 150 patients with DM1, and 155 eyes of 155 patients with DM2 with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and Ganglion cell layer (GCL) were evaluated. OCT-A studied both FAZ and VD at the level of the superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and the deep capillary plexus (DCP). Results: A statistically significant difference in FAZ area and foveal VD measured at the SCP (p < 0.001) was noted between DM1 and DM2 groups when comparing patients with mild and moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), while no differences were found in the severe NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) subgroups. Duration of diabetes and stage of DR were directly correlated with enlargement of FAZ area and inversely correlated with foveal VD measured at SCP. RNFL and GCL were not different between DM1 and DM2 groups. Conclusion: Changes in OCT-A parameters detected in FAZ area and VD of diabetic patients with different stages of DR may help to predict the risk for progression of the disease.
