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

Purpose: To describe the clinical profile and complications of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and uveitis in patients with coexisting conditions and to derive associations based on site of primary inflammation, stage of DR, and complications of each. Design: Single-center, cross-sectional observational study. Participants: Sixty-six patients with coexisting DR and uveitis. Methods: Electronic medical records of 66 such cases were evaluated. The demographic data, diabetic status, clinical characteristics, and complications of DR and uveitis on the final follow-up were recorded. Main Outcome Measures: Associations between best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), prevalence of various stages, and complications of DR among eyes with and without uveitis, and correlation between the intensity and primary sites of inflammation among eyes with proliferative and nonproliferative changes. Results: Of the 132 eyes, all had DR and 97 eyes had uveitis (35 unilateral and 31 bilateral cases). Mean age of patients was 53.4 ± 8.7 years, duration of diabetes was 10.5 ± 6.9 years, and duration of uveitis was 61.3 ± 68.8 months. Of uveitis patients, 54.6% had anterior uveitis (AU), 20.6% had intermediate, 10.3% posterior, and 14.4% panuveitis. Forty-nine point five percent of eyes had proliferative DR (PDR) changes. There was a higher proportion PDR cases among anterior (56.6%), posterior (70%), and panuveitis (64.3%), with difference in AU cases approaching statistical significance ( Conclusions: Eyes with coexisting DR and uveitis have a higher prevalence of neovascular and uveitis complications along with a risk of poorer visual outcomes. Treatment should aim at limiting the duration and intensity of inflammation. Strict glycemic control is essential for inflammation control and preventing the progression of DR to more advanced stages.
