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

objectiveTo determine the efficacy of pazopanib eye drops in the streptozotocin induced diabetic retinopathy rat model.

methodsA 0.5% w/v pazopanib suspension was prepared in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) in the presence of 0.5% w/v sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Brown Norway rats were divided into three groups (n=4) - (1) healthy, (2) diabetic, and (3) diabetic with treatment. The drug suspension was administered twice daily as eye drops to group 3 for 30 days. Efficacy parameters including the number of adherent leukocytes in the retinal vasculature (leukostasis), blood-retinal FITC-dextran leakage, and vitreous-to-plasma protein ratio were measured.

resultsPazopanib suspension in the form of eye drops significantly reduced leukostasis (32%), FITC-dextran leakage (39%), and the vitreous-to-plasma protein ratio (64%) in diabetic animals compared to untreated diabetic group.

conclusionPazopanib eye drops can alleviate retinal complications of diabetic retinopathy.
