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.

Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the 6-month progression of retinal capillary perfusion in eyes with advanced stages of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Design: RICHARD (NCT05112445), 2-year prospective longitudinal study. Participants: Sixty eyes with Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) levels 43, 47, and 53 from 60 patients with type 2 diabetes. Fifty-one patients completed the 6-month evaluation. Methods: Eyes were evaluated on Optos California (Optos plc) ultrawidefield fundus fluorescein angiography (UWF-FFA), swept-source OCT angiography (SS-OCTA) (PLEX Elite 9000, ZEISS) and spectral-domain OCTA (SD-OCTA) (CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000 Angioplex, ZEISS). DRSS classification was performed based on 7-field color fundus photographs (CFPs) complemented with Optos California UWF-fundus imaging. Main Outcome Measures: Ischemic index was obtained from Optos. Vascular quantification metrics, namely foveal avascular zone, skeletonized vessel density (SVD), and perfusion density (PD) metrics, were acquired on OCTA in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses (SCP and DCP). Microaneurysm assessment was automatically performed based on CFP images using the RetmarkerDR (Retmarker SA, Meteda Group). Results: Swept-source-OCTA metrics showed statistically significant differences between the advanced stages of NPDR. Differences between DRSS levels 47 and 53 were found at baseline in the inner ring (SVD, SCP: Conclusions: In a 6-month period, significant microvascular disease progression can be identified in eyes with DRSS levels 47 and 53 by performing OCTA examinations and microaneurysm counting using CFP.
