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: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a leading vision-threatening disease. In this study, we investigated the clinical features of PDR and the surgical outcomes of its complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical data of patients with T2D who underwent vitrectomy for PDR between January 2016 and June 2021. The patients were divided into two groups by age (young patients, < 45 years; older patients, ≥ 45 years). Results: There were 149 eyes (100 patients) in the young patient group and 315 eyes (256 patients) in the older patient group. The proportion of males and the proportion of patients requiring binocular surgery were much higher in the young patient group than in the older patient group ( Conclusion: In this retrospective study, young patients who underwent vitrectomy for PDR had more severe clinical characteristics before vitrectomy. However, vitrectomy (combined with cataract surgery when necessary) achieved better final visual outcomes in young patients than in older patients with T2D.
