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

purposeThe high-mobility group box -1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)/osteopontin (OPN)/early growth response-1 (Egr-1) pathway is involved in inflammation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis. We investigated the expression of the components of this pathway in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) epiretinal membranes.

methodsNine active and 13 inactive membranes from patients with PDR and 21 membranes from patients with PVR were studied by immunohistochemistry.

resultsIn PDR membranes, vascular endothelial cells expressed HMGB1, RAGE, OPN, and Egr-1 in 21, 15, 20, and 16 membranes, respectively. Stromal cells expressed HMGB1, RAGE, OPN, and Egr-1 in 21, 20, 20, and 16 membranes, respectively. Significant correlations were detected between the number of blood vessels expressing the panendothelial cell marker CD34 and the number of blood vessels and stromal cells expressing HMGB1, RAGE, and OPN. The numbers of blood vessels and stromal cells expressing CD34, HMGB1, RAGE, and OPN and stromal cells expressing Egr-1 were significantly higher in active membranes than in inactive membranes. In PVR membranes, spindle-shaped myofibroblasts expressing α-smooth muscle actin coexpressed HMGB1, RAGE, OPN, and Egr-1.

conclusionsThe HMGB1/RAGE/OPN/Egr-1 pathway may be involved in inflammatory, angiogenic and fibrotic responses in proliferative vitreoretinal disorders.
