1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and one of the leading causes of global blinding. More attention should be paid to the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of DR. Swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) is a novel imaging technique presented in recent years. It can accurately present the various levels of the retina, choriocapillaris, macula, and the optic papillary microcirculation, which is new to the diagnosis and prognosis of DR. However, SS-OCTA is limited by poor fixation or severe media clouding and is susceptible to motion artefacts and segmentation errors. Future limitations need to be addressed and large prospective trials conducted to refine the relevance of SS-OCTA to DR. The present study reviews the advances in clinical application of SS-OCTA in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of DR.
