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: We evaluate the effects of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( Methods: Prospective, case-controlled study. Eight early diabetic retinopathy patients with common reduced function Results: BCVA and vascular indices of DR + PM patients at baseline were initially below those of NC and improved after medical food. Compared to baseline, DR + PM patients after the medical food had significantly improved BCVA during the follow-up period (P < 0.05). In comparison, overall RTP and arteriolar BFV were significantly increased at 6 months (P < 0.05). The changes varied with Conclusion: Medical food was effective in improving both visual acuity and retinal tissue perfusion in DR + PM patients. The degree of improvement of retinal microcirculation varied among
