Evaluation of corneal backward light scattering in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

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
aimTo compare the corneal backward light scattering values in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with those of age and sex-matched healthy controls.
methodsThe study included 30 patients (30 eyes) with type 2 DM and 30 control subjects (30 eyes). Duration of diabetes, most recent hemoglobin A1c levels, along with the status of diabetic retinopathy, and existing medical treatment of all subjects were recorded. All subjects underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination. In addition, backward light scattering (densitometry) was measured to assess changes in corneal transparency using tomography (Pentacam HR).
resultsThe type 2 DM patients included 12 males and 18 females and control subjects included 16 males and 14 females. The age was 50.40±7.80y (range: 40-68y) of the diabetic group and 49.30±9.50y (rang: 40-73y) of control group. The diabetic group demonstrated significantly higher mean densitometry values of the anterior (6-10 mm) zone (
conclusionDiabetic group has higher densitometry in anterior corneal (6-10 mm) zone, total anterior cornea, and total cornea and with no correlation with hemoglobin A1c levels and DM duration.
