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

aimTo investigate the effect of aminoguanidine (AG) on the expression of caspase-3 in rat retina after ischemia- reperfusion injury.

methodsThe rats were anesthetized with 30mg/kg sodium pentobarbital introperitoneal(ip) injections. After topical application of 10g/L dicaine, the anterior chamber was punctured with a 5-gauge needle connected to a bottle containing normal saline. Intraocular pressure was raised to 100 mmHg by elevating the saline container. The infusion needle was removed from the anterior chamber 60 minutes later. Reperfusion of the retinal vasculature was confirmed by fundus examination. AG 100mg/kg was ip injected in drug group. The rats were then euthanatized at 6, 24, and 72 hours after reperfusion, and their eyes were enucleated for immunohistochemistry.

resultsNo specific staining was detected by using the caspase-3 antibody in the retina of control group. In ischemia group, the protein of caspase-3 was over-expressed at 6 hours and relieved at 24 hours and 72 hours, while with drug treatment, the expression of protein of caspase-3 was decreased at each time point.

conclusionAG provides retinal protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat retina, probably through an inducible NOS-dependent mechanism.
