Correlation between diastolic function and fundus vascular features in coronary heart disease.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo assess the correlation between cardiac diastolic function and retinal/choroidal vascular features in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).
methodsThis observational clinical cohort study included 206 CHD patients (412 eyes). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) images were obtained from each participant using the AngioVue Imaging System. Each patient also underwent echocardiography to evaluate cardiac diastolic function.
resultsSeveral correlations were found between cardiac diastolic function and fundus vascular features in CHD patients. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVED), interventricular septal thickness in diastole (IVSD), left ventricular posterior wall thickness in diastole (LVPWD), and early (E) to atrial (A) wave velocity (E/A ratio) positively correlated with retinal thickness, while early (E) diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early (E') diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/E' ratio) and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) negatively correlated. Significant associations were noted for LVED and PASP across several retinal regions, excluding the foveal central subfield. Vessel density in superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) layers had negative correlations with IVSD, LVPWD, and E/E' ratio, but a positive correlation with E/A ratio. The choriocapillaris (CC) layer's vessel density positively correlated with the E/A ratio and negatively with the E/E' ratio. LVPWD and E/A ratio positively correlated with choroidal perfusion, while E/E' ratio showed a negative correlation. LVED, pulmonary artery diameter (PA), and PASP showed no significant associations with retinal or choroidal perfusion.
conclusionIn CHD patients, macular retinal/choroidal thickness, vascular density across different layers, and perfusion may serve as useful and sensitive predictors of fundus circulatory disturbances resulting from impaired cardiac diastolic function.
