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

(200/200) Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate structural alterations of retinal arterioles due to type 1 diabetes (T1D) and/or diabetic retinopathy (DR) under AOSLO imaging.

methodsEach study eye underwent mydriasis and AOSLO imaging in a single-visit study. The instrument's arrangement of four offset aperture images provided two orthogonal split-detector images and enabled isotropic analysis of the arteriolar boundaries. For each arteriole, we calculated the wall-to-lumen ratio (WLR), mean wall thickness, and luminal and external diameters.

resultsIn total, we enrolled 5 (20.8%) healthy control eyes and 19 eyes of patients with T1D. The DR distribution was: four (16.7%) no-DR, nine (37.5%%) mild or moderate nonproliferative DR (NPDR), and six (25%) severe NPDR or proliferative DR. Mean wall thickness increased significantly in eyes with T1D compared to healthy controls (

conclusionsIn this preliminary study, there appeared to be increases in the WLR and mean wall thickness in eyes with T1D and more severe DR than in the controls and eyes with no/less severe DR. Future studies may further elucidate the relationship between the retinal arteriolar structure and physiologic alterations in DR.
