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

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness. Retinal imaging is an important tool to monitor the progression of DR. While seven-standard retinal fields are the traditional method for evaluating DR, ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging allows for improved visualization of peripheral areas of nonperfusion (NP) and neovascularization (NV), which could be used as biomarkers to monitor and predict progression of DR. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 651 eyes from 363 patients diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who received UWF-FA over 10 years. Fluorescein Angiography (FA) images were segmented, and surface areas of NP and NV were analyzed using multivariate regression to determine if biomarkers of DR and DR severity are associated with increasing areas of NP and NV. Results: Each additional year with a diagnosis of DR was associated with a 10.75 mm Discussion: Biomarkers identified through UWF imaging such as total and regional areas of NP can be used to monitor and predict the progression of DR. This may provide a quantitative method for prognostication in patients with DR.
