Age-associated increase in cleaved caspase 3 despite phosphorylation of IGF-1 receptor in the rat retina.

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.
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
Diseases of aging produce many alterations in the retina, but changes in growth factor signaling in normal aging are less characterized. This study investigated modifications in insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor (IGF-1R) signaling in the retina of Brown Norway x Fischer 344 F1 hybrid rats at 8, 22, and 32 months. Immunoblotting for proteins involved in IGF-1R signal transduction and electroretinograms were done to evaluate changes with aging. Aging produced a significant decrease in b-wave and oscillatory potential amplitudes in the retina. Aging produced increased phosphorylation of IGF-1R. Despite the increase in IGF-1R activity, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) phosphorylation was significantly decreased with increasing age. Akt activity was significantly decreased at 22 and 32 months of age, resulting in increased cleaved caspase 3 levels. The results suggest that regulation of IRS-1 phosphorylation may modulate apoptotic rates in the aging retina, potentially preventing activation of vascular endothelial cell growth factor.
