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

introductionThe aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the morphological parameters of retinal arteriolar bifurcations and coronary artery disease (CAD).

methodsIn this cross-sectional observational study, fundus photography was conducted on 444 participants to capture retinal arteriolar bifurcations. A total of 731 fundus photographs yielded 9625 measurable bifurcations. Analyzed bifurcation parameters included the diameters of the parent vessel (d

resultsAfter adjusting for anatomical characteristics including the asymmetry ratio, area ratio, and distance to the optic disc, we observed that patients with severe coronary artery stenosis had significant deviations from the theoretical optimal bifurcation angles, with a decrease in (

conclusionThe findings suggest a clear alteration in retinal arteriolar bifurcation morphology among patients with severe CAD, which could potentially serve as an indicator of disease severity.
