The Weight on Sight: Exploring the Links Between Obesity and Ocular Diseases.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Obesity is a significant public health concern with escalating levels worldwide creating a variety of socioeconomic challenges and imposing a serious risk factor for a range of complications which include diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and stroke, all of which are primary causes of early death. Furthermore, there is growing evidence connecting obesity to the development of several ocular disorders. Excessive weight is a common denominator in the aetiology of many ocular pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, cataract, high intraocular pressures, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vascular diseases through the association with diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. This review highlights the risks weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle imposes on patients' ocular health and aims to inform the public and raise awareness about the consequences obesity has on sight. This review explores articles available on Ovid-MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) and PubMed regarding the impact of obesity on ocular health and the pathogenesis of obesity-linked ocular diseases.
