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

purposeTo investigate the membrane physiology of Müller glial cells from retinae of DBA/2J mice (which develop ocular hypertension) and of C57BL/6 control mice of different ages.

methodsRetinae were obtained at the ages of 3, 6, and 12 months from DBA/2J mice and from C57BL/6 controls. Immunohistochemistry was performed using antibodies against glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Whole-cell membrane currents, membrane potentials and capacitances were recorded from freshly isolated Müller cells.

resultsStrong immunostaining for GFAP was found in Müller cells of 12-month-old DBA/2J mice, whereas only astrocytes were immunopositive in C57BL/6 retinae. No significant alterations of membrane currents or potentials of Müller cells from DBA/2J mice as compared to controls were observed at any age; however, the membrane capacitance was increased in Müller cells from DBA/2J mice at the age of 6 months.

conclusionsAlthough Müller cells of DBA/2J mice display some symptoms of reactive gliosis, the lack of significant alterations of the membrane physiology confirm previous data demonstrating that these cells undergo a nonproliferative gliosis.
