TL;DR: The data drawn from a Chinese population with T2DM suggest that increasing CRP levels may be inversely associated with development of DR.

TL;DR: Wider venular calibres, but not arteriolar calibre, was shown to be associated with development and increased severity of DR independently from other risk factors in a Chinese diabetic population.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (ROB 2) to assess the quality of the included studies and concluded that the best possible OCPMs for NPDR remain questionable and merit further investigation.

TL;DR: These data expanded previous observations on the association of DR with variants in the VEGF gene in Chinese patients with T2DM, and a possible association between DR and KDR polymorphisms is suggested.
