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

Objective: With the intention of developing a more targeted control strategy for retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in East Asian populations, a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the risk factors associated with RVO in this region. Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP databases were searched for studies that reported risk factors of RVO in East Asia, published from the establishment of the database to May 2024. To further filter the articles, Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) evaluation method was utilized to assess the quality of selected articles. After valid data were extracted, Meta-analysis was performed by Review Manager software. Results: A total of 21 literatures were included, including 27561 cases in the RVO group (Case group) and 514578 cases in the non-retinal vein occlusion (NRVO) group (Control group). Results of meta-analysis showed that chronic kidney disease [odds ratio (OR)=4.14, 95% confidence interval (CI): (1.86%, 9.24%)], hypertension [OR=4.11, 95% CI: (3.09%, 5.48%)], hyperlipidemia [OR=3.45, 95%CI: (2.32%, 5.12%)], diabetes mellitus [OR=3.00, 95%CI: (1.88%, 4.80%)], homocysteine [OR=0.87, 95%CI: (0.59%, 1.15%)], have statistically significant differences between the RVO group and the NRVO group( Conclusion: The occurrence of RVO is closely related to its risk factors, such as chronic kidney disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and high homocysteine. In the process of diagnosis and treatment of RVO, doctors should focus on the above risk factors to prevent the occurrence of the disease.
