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

purpose15-Lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) plays an important role in regulating angiogenesis, but the mechanism to date is controversial, even contradictory. The goal of our study was to investigate whether 15-LOX-1 plays a role in inhibiting retinal neovascularization (RNV) in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) and the underlying mechanism.

methodsExperiments were performed using retinas from a mouse model of OIR that was treated with and without intravitreous injection of adenoviral-15-lipoxygenase-1 (Ad-15-LOX-1) or adenoviral-green fluorescence protein (Ad-GFP) at postnatal day 12 (P12). At P17, the efficacy of the gene transfer was assessed with immunofluorescence staining. RNV was evaluated with fluorescein angiography on flatmounted retinas and quantified by counting the preretinal neovascular cells. Expression of 15-LOX-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) were determined with real-time PCR and western blot.

resultsRNV during OIR was associated with decreased 15-LOX-1 expression, and retinal 15-LOX-1 levels were negatively correlated with the progression of RNV. In the intravitreous injected Ad-15-LOX-1 mice with OIR, retinal 15-LOX-1 expression was significantly increased at the protein and mRNA levels at P17. 15-LOX-1 expression was clearly demonstrated, primarily in the outer plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, and ganglion cell layer retinas, five days after gene delivery. Fluorescein retinal angiography and quantification of the preretinal neovascular cells demonstrated that RNV was significantly inhibited. Meanwhile, the expression levels of VEGF-A were significantly decreased at the transcriptional and translational levels.

conclusionsOur results suggest that overexpression of 15-LOX-1 inhibits RNV in a mouse model of OIR via downregulation of VEGF-A expression, and 15-LOX-1 may be a novel therapeutic target for ocular neovascularization diseases.
