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

purposeTo investigate the role of cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN), vascular condition, and sensory function in diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression.

methodsThis 3-year cohort study conducted in a community hospital included 4850 patients over 20 with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Participants were assessed in 2017 at baseline and were followed up in 2020. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they had DR progression or not and were compared using the chi-square test or two-sample t-test. Beta coefficient and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using binary logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of various independent variables for DR progression was provided with C-statistics.

resultsAbnormal hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level/variation, estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, R-R interval variation, standard deviation of the average NN intervals, autonomic nervous system function, power of high-frequency (HF) bands, balance, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), and warm stimulation (WS) were associated with DR progression. Average HbA1c, HF, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy were independent factors for patients developing DR progression. The top three areas under the curve of ROCs were HF + baseline DR grading, WS + baseline DR grading, and CAVI + baseline DR grading. These variable combinations were the most reliable predictors of DR progression.

conclusionCAN, abnormal vascular condition, and sensory function are associated with DR progression. The combination of HF, WS, and CAVI with baseline DR grading provides the most accurate predictive model for DR progression. Early detection of these factors is important to prevent DR progression.
