Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy in young and middle-aged patients: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 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
AIMS/
introductionTo investigate the related risk factors of retinopathy in young and middle-aged diabetic patients in order to improve the prognosis of patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsUsing clinical practice data from a cohort study at our two research centers, we developed a bivariate logistic regression model to investigate the frightening risk factors potentially for retinopathy in young and middle-aged patients with diabetes, including diabetes type, physical activity level, treatment-related characteristics and laboratory tests.
resultsA total of 453 patients with diabetes were investigated, 197 (43.5%) developed retinopathy. The risk of retinopathy was closely related to place of residence (OR: 0.275, 95% CI: 0.093-0.814), education level (OR: 0.522, 95% CI: 0.363-0.749), medical payment method (OR: 2.152, 95% CI: 1.308-3.539), BMI (OR: 1.187, 95% CI: 1.091-1.291), disease course (OR: 1.072, 95% CI: 1.028-1.118), hyperlipidemia (OR: 2.547, 95% CI: 1.260-5.150), physical activity level (OR: 0.312, 95% CI: 0.220-0.443), and dietary compliance (OR 0.871, 95% CI: 0.806-0.940). The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve was 0.915. Goodness of fit (Hosmer-Lemeshow) was 0.658.
conclusionsThe risk of young and middle-aged patients with increased as a result of certain patient characteristics and complications, especially lower dietary compliance and physical activity level.
