Progerin mRNA Is Associated with Smoking and Signs of Increased Microvascular Damage in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema.

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.
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
The premature aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford Syndrome (HGPS) is caused by defined mutations in the LMNA gene, resulting in the activation of a cryptic splice donor site, which leads to a defective truncated prelamin A protein called progerin. Notably, progerin expression has also been detected in non-mutated healthy individuals, and therefore, its involvement in the physiological aging process has been widely discussed. Since diabetes mellitus is associated with premature aging and increased cardiovascular mortality, we aimed to investigate the role of progerin expression in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). mRNA expression of progerin was analyzed in blood samples from 140 patients with DR who received anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. Progerin mRNA levels were significantly lower in female compared to male patients (
