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

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a serine proteinase inhibitor with antiangiogenic activities. To investigate whether PEDF overexpression has an impact on ocular neovascularization in vivo, we generated PEDF transgenic (PEDF-Tg) mice that ubiquitously express human PEDF driven by the β-actin promoter. The PEDF-Tg mice under normal conditions did not show any abnormalities in retinal histologic findings or visual function. In contrast, PEDF-Tg animals with oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) developed significantly less severe retinal neovascularization compared with wild-type (Wt) mice with OIR. In addition, PEDF-Tg mice with OIR had significantly lower vascular leakage in the retina but higher occludin levels than the Wt mice with OIR, suggesting a protective effect on the blood-retinal barrier. Furthermore, retinal levels of proinflammatory factors were significantly lower in PEDF-Tg mice with OIR than in the Wt mice with OIR. In the laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model, the CNV area was significantly smaller in the PEDF-Tg mice than in the Wt mice. Also, the laser burn-induced overexpression of proangiogenic and inflammatory factors was observed in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium of Wt mice but not in PEDF-Tg mice. Taken together, these results suggest that overexpression of PEDF inhibits retinal inflammation and neovascularization in both the OIR and laser-induced CNV models. The PEDF-Tg mice provide a useful model for studying the roles of angiogenic inhibitors in neovascular disorders such as diabetic retinopathy.
