The Association of Axial Length with Macular Microvascular Changes in Chinese Diabetic Retinopathy Patients.
Article in International journal of general medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To use optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to compare macular blood flow density, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and outer retina thickness (ORT) in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) patients with different axial length (AL). Methods: Total 42 patients with NPDR with different eye axis were divided into three groups: group A: 22 mm≤AL<24 mm; group B: 24 mm≤AL<26 mm; group C: AL≥26 mm. Superficial capillary plexus (SCP) in the macular area, vascular length density (VLD) and vascular perfusion density (VPD) in the foveal region, the parafoveal region, the perifoveal region and whole macular region were analyzed. The correlations among axial length, macular microvascular density, SFCT and outer retinal thickness (ORT) were analyzed. Results: Compared with group A and B, VLD and VPD in group C were significantly lower except the foveal region, and VLD and VPD were negatively correlated with AL. The difference in SFCT among group A, B and C was significant, and SFCT was negatively correlated with AL. Compared with group A, parafoveal ORT in group C was significantly lower than that in group A, and parafoveal ORT was negatively correlated with AL. Conclusion: In NPDR patients with different AL, macular microvascular density, SFCT, and parafoveal ORT decreased with the increase of AL.
