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

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension (HTN) are key risk factors for retinopathy and often coexist with coronary heart disease (CHD). While AI-based retinal imaging predicts CHD risk, links between CHD lesion complexity and retinopathy, and potential benefits of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on retinopathy in CHD patients with T2DM, lack sufficient evidence. Methods: This case-control study (Jan 2024-Mar 2025) enrolled 642 subjects from Beijing Tongren Hospital (affiliated with Capital Medical University). Retinal imaging data were analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) created baseline and optimized datasets. Univariate/multivariate logistic regression assessed if CHD increases retinopathy risk in patients with T2DM, HTN, or both. Pearson correlation evaluated associations between CHD lesion complexity (SYNTAX score) and retinal parameters. Stratified analysis assessed SGLT2 inhibitor effects on retinopathy in hypertensive-diabetic subgroups with/without CHD. The analysis of SGLT2 inhibitor efficacy was based on a retrospective cohort study of drug utilization rather than a prospective randomized intervention. Results: Within the hypertensive-diabetic cohort, CHD patients ( Conclusion: CHD elevates retinopathy risk in patients with T2DM, HTN, or both. Coronary lesion complexity correlates with retinal microvascular changes. SGLT2 inhibitors demonstrate a potential protective effect against some aspects of retinopathy development.
