Comparison of anterior segment parameters of the eye between type 2 diabetic with and without diabetic retinopathy and non-diabetic.

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
aimTo compare anterior segment parameters between two groups of type 2 diabetic with and without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and non-diabetic elderly subjects based on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and status of DR.
methodsThis study was conducted on 997 residents aged 60y or over in Tehran, Iran. Diabetic group had HbA1c level ≥6.4% with no other systemic problems. The non-diabetic participants had normal eye findings and no systemic diseases. K1, K2, mean K, Q-value, anterior, central, posterior, and total corneal densitometric findings, anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal volume (CV), and pachymetry were measured by Pentacam AXL.
resultsA total of 678 non-diabetic (39% male) and 319 diabetic (35% male) subjects with mean age of 66.31±5.23 and 67.22±4.96y were examined, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in anterior segment parameters between non-diabetic and diabetic groups (all
conclusionConsidering the higher densitometric values of the cornea and lower ACD and ACV in diabetic subjects with DR, it is suggested that the examiners should perform comprehensive retinal examinations when faced with such conditions.
