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: This study aimed to develop and validate a multimodal prediction model integrating optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for assessing the 5-year risk of severe systemic complications in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: A total of 340 patients with type 2 diabetes and DR were retrospectively enrolled from January 2020 to December 2024. Participants were randomly allocated into training ( Results: Baseline characteristics were balanced between training and validation sets ( Conclusion: A multimodal prediction model incorporating OCTA and HbA1c was successfully developed and validated. The convolutional neural network demonstrated optimal predictive performance and clinical utility, offering a quantitative tool for early identification of high-risk patients and individualized management planning.
