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

purposeThe purpose of the study was to determine the proportion of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among individuals with type II diabetes mellitus (T2D) and its associated risk factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of 988 DR outpatients attending a tertiary eye center, Brunei Darussalam, between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021.

resultsEight hundred and fifty one patients (56.8 ± 10.9 years) with a total of 1702 eyes were included. The relative proportion of nonproliferative DR (NPDR) (

conclusionThe relative prevalence of NPDR was higher than PDR; however, variables such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, duration of diabetes, weight, gender, and ethnicity were not strong determinants to differentiate between the two types. VA was associated with progression to PDR. This study highlights the need for early detection, regular screening, and patient education as preventive measures toward the progression of DR.
