Review in Journal of glaucoma, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The trabecular meshwork (TM) is known to be subjected to different types of stress such as mechanical, oxidative, and phagocytic stress. Although short-term exposure to these stresses is expected to elicit adaptive responses, long-term exposure may lead to permanent alterations in the tissue physiology and contribute to the pathologic increase in aqueous humor outflow resistance frequently associated with glaucoma. A fuller understanding of the cell-specific and tissue-specific responses to stress in the TM, including changes in gene and protein expression, signal transduction, and potential pathogenic effects, could lead to novel prevention and therapeutic strategies for glaucoma. This review summarizes the current information available about how the TM responds to mechanical, oxidative, and phagocytic stress, as well as the evidence supporting the role that such responses may have in the alterations of the TM in aging and glaucoma.
