The role of retinal vessel geometry as an indicator of systemic arterial stiffness assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objective: To determine whether retinal vessel geometry is associated with systemic arterial stiffness, as determined by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). Methods: This single-center retrospective cross-sectional study included 407 eyes of 407 subjects who underwent routine health exams, including CAVI and fundus photography. Retinal vessel geometry was measured using a computer-assisted program (Singapore "I" Vessel Assessment). Subjects were classified into two groups based on CAVI values: high CAVI (≥9) or low CAVI (<9). The main outcome measures included the association of retinal vessel geometry and CAVI value evaluated using multivariable logistic regression models. Results: Three hundred forty-three subjects (343, 84.3%) were in the Conclusions: Increased systemic arterial stiffness had a significant association with retinal vessel geometry related to arterial narrowing (CRAE), less branching complexity of the arterial tree (FDa), and acute arteriolar bifurcation (BAa).
