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: Retinal detachment (RD) is a vision-threatening condition that manifests silently before abrupt disease onset; thus, most of the RD at-risk individuals are left unchecked until the first RD attack. Methods: To establish an RD risk-informing system for a broader population, we utilized carotid ultrasonography (CUS) biometrics, RD polygenic risk score (PRSRD), and clinical covariates (COVs) to assess RD risk predisposition factors. First, a backpropagation logistic regression model identified RD-associated CUS biomarkers and further incorporated them as a multivariable RD-risk nomogram. Next, a PRSRD model was established with the selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) curated as high functional expression candidates in the retina single-cell RNA datasets. Finally, a three-component RD prediction model (CUS, PRSRD, and COVs) was assembled by logistic cumulative analysis. Results: Demographic analysis reported hypertension (HTN) status was associated with RD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.601). The CUS regression model revealed that the minimum flow of the right internal carotid artery (ICA-Qmin; OR = 1.04) and the time-averaged maximum velocity of the right common carotid artery (CCA-TAMAX; OR = 1.03) were associated with increased RD risk. Notably, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified three significant SNPs (IGFBPL1 rs117248428, OR = 1.63; CELF2 rs56168975, OR = 1.72; and PAX6 rs11825821, OR = 1.61; P < 5.00 × 10-6) that are highly expressed at the RD border of the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid. Finally, the three-component model demonstrated state-of-the-art RD prediction (AUCHTN+ = 0.95, AUCHTN- = 0.93). Conclusions: Based on instrumenting CUS images and genetic PRSRD, we are proposing a screening method for RD at-risk patients. Translational Relevance: Results from this study demonstrated the combination of CUS and GWAS as a cost-effective, population-wide screening framework for identifying RD at-risk individuals.
