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

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes characterized by an extremely low rate of progression. It takes several years to move from the onset of diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, to the development of retinal microaneurysms, then leading to proliferative diabetic retinopathy and vision loss. The recent demonstration that retinal microaneurysms are preceded and, possibly, caused by a subclinical neurodegeneration mainly affecting the neurovascular unit has suggested, on one hand, the possible existence of a previously unknown early neurodegenerative stage of diabetic retinopathy and, on the other, that an early "neuroprotective" treatment could end up preventing the development of the microvascular stages. This review summarizes the present situation in the field and focuses on the prevention of diabetic retinopathy, which seems, for the first time, to be within reach.
