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: The purpose of this study was to explore the succession of the central and peripheral neurovascular and microstructural impairments in patients with full-course diabetic retinopathy (DR), consisting of preclinical DR, nonproliferative DR (NPDR), and proliferative DR (PDR). Methods: Our analysis included 81 participants (including 23 healthy controls, 23 with preclinical DR [diabetes without retinopathy], 13 with NPDR, and 22 with PDR) from the Guangdong Diabetic Retinopathy Multiple Omics Study. Retinal structure and function were evaluated and quantified using ultra-widefield swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF-SS-OCTA), electroretinography (ERG), and adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO). Correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between structural parameters and functional parameters. Results: In the preclinical DR group, decreased amplitude in the DR assessment protocol were observed (P = 0.003), with no changes in structure and photoreceptor cells (all P > 0.05). In the NPDR group, photoreceptor cells were impaired (all P < 0.05) with delayed implicit time in the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision (ISCEV) Photopic flicker protocol, increased macular and inner nuclear layer thickness, and decreased vessel density and perfusion area of the deep capillary plexus (all P < 0.05). In the PDR group, delayed implicit time and decreased amplitude in the ISCEV Photopic flicker and photopic negative response (PhNR) protocol, and neurovascular impairments were observed (all P < 0.05). Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between functional parameters and various structural indicators (all P < 0.05). Conclusions: The cone pathway function began to decline in preclinical DR and distinct photoreceptor cell disorders were observed in NPDR. Notably, instruments with a wider field of view or more detailed microscopic techniques will provide enhanced neurovascular imaging, offering fresh insights into full-course DR.
