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: Optical coherence tomography angiography was used to compare the changes of capillary density and thickness of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and patients with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 62, 85, and 75 eyes of normal control group (NC), DM group, and NPDR group were included, respectively. All subjects received an optic-disc-centered 6 × 6-mm fundus scan. The annular region outside the optic disc boundary was divided into eight sectors: nasal superior, nasal inferior, inferior nasal (IN), inferior temporal (IT), temporal superior, temporal inferior, superior nasal, and superior temporal (ST). The average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, average capillary density, and changes in thickness and capillary density of each sector in the annular region were calculated. Results: Compared with the NC group, the average capillary density of pRNFL in patients with DM and NPDR groups decreased significantly ( Conclusion: The pRNFL average capillary density in diabetic patients without DR and patients with mild NPDR, respectively, were significantly lower than that in healthy controls, especially in the NPDR group.
