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

Adverse microvascular complications are early markers of cardiovascular risk and precede the development of cardiovascular diseases. An increase in adiposity has been associated with changes in retinal microvascular calibre in a specific age group. However, this association is scarce in young adults. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between neck circumference and body fat with retinal microvascular calibres in young adults. In our cross-sectional study, 330 students aged (18-30 years) participated. Anthropometric measurements were taken according to standard procedures. Retinal photographs were obtained with an Optomed retinal camera and analyzed with MONA-REVA vessel analysis software to obtain microvascular calibres such as central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE), central venular equivalent (CRVE) and artery-to-venous ratio (AVR). In the stepwise multiple regression analysis, neck circumference (NC) was negatively associated with CRAE [adjusted R
