Changes in foveal avascular zone parameters in individuals with prediabetes compared to normoglycemic controls: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
To investigate changes in foveal avascular zone parameters in individuals with prediabetes compared to normoglycemic controls. PUBMED, Scopus and Cochrane Library were searched for published articles comparing the foveal avascular zone between prediabetic individuals and normoglycemic controls as assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Standardised Mean Difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed for the comparison. A total of seven studies were included in our analysis, 6 provided data for the superficial capillary plexus from 345 eyes of individuals with prediabetes and 347 eyes of controls and 4 provided data on the deep capillary plexus from 285 eyes from individuals with prediabetes and 325 eyes of controls. Foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in the superficial capillary plexus was enlarged in individuals with prediabetes compared to normoglycemic controls (SMD = 0.23, 95% CI = 0.03-0.44, p = 0.03, I
