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: To elucidate the relationship between disorganization of retinal inner layers (DRILs) and retinal function in diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and with nonproliferative DR, but without diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods: Fifty-seven participants with diabetes mellitus (DM) and 18 healthy controls underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination, fundus photography, and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Scans of the fovea were evaluated for the presence of DRIL. Retinal function was evaluated using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity, the quick contrast sensitivity function (qCSF) on the AST Sentio Platform, short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), standard automated perimetry (SAP), and frequency doubling perimetry (FDP). ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis were used to compare retinal function in subjects with and without DRIL. Tukey-Kramer test and Wilcoxon were used for post hoc analysis. Results: DRIL was identified in 9 of 57 diabetic subjects. DRIL subjects had higher body mass index and longer diabetes duration compared to diabetic subjects without DRIL (P = 0.03 and P = 0.009, respectively). Subjects with DRIL had reduced ETDRS visual acuity (P = 0.003), contrast sensitivity function (P = 0.0003), and SAP performance (PSD, P < 0.0001) compared to controls and diabetic subjects without DRIL. Structural analysis revealed inner retinal thinning, and some outer retinal thinning, associated with DRIL. Conclusions: Diabetic subjects with DRIL have reduced retinal function compared to those without DRIL, and defective retinal lamination may be an early cellular consequence of diabetes responsible for this in some patients. Following further longitudinal studies, DRIL may be a readily available and reliable structural biomarker for reduced retinal function in early diabetic neuroretinal disease.
