Effects of firsthand tobacco smoking on retinal vessel caliber: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo review the effects of firsthand tobacco smoking on central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE) and central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE) of firsthand tobacco smokers.
methodsWe performed a search on EMBASE and PubMed for studies up to 15
resultsIn this meta-analysis, 7431 nonsmokers, 2448 current smokers and 5786 former smokers, as well as 7404 nonsmokers, 2430 current smokers and 5763 former smokers were included in CRAE and CRVE analysis respectively. Nonsmokers had narrower CRVE (Weighted mean difference [WMD], -12.15; 95% CI, -17.33 - -6.96) and CRAE (WMD, -4.77; 95% CI, -7.96 - -1.57) than current smokers, and narrower CRVE (WMD, -3.08; 95% CI, -6.06 - -0.11) than former smokers. Current smokers had wider CRVE (WMD, 10.42; 95% CI, 7.80 - 13.04) and CRAE (WMD, 7.05; 95% CI, 6.65 - 7.46) than former smokers. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed.
conclusionFirsthand tobacco smoking resulted in wider CRAE and CRVE in current and former smokers, particularly in CRVE, and such changes may not be reversible after smoking cessation. Therefore, retinal vessel caliber may reflect the effects of firsthand tobacco smoking and be used to estimate the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
