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

Diabetes and its related complications represent a major growing health concern and economic burden worldwide. Ocular manifestations of diabetes include cataractogenesis and retinopathy, the latter being the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population. Despite numerous studies and recent progress, the exact pathophysiology of the disease remains to be fully elucidated and development of new and improved therapeutic strategies for this chronic condition are greatly needed. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved families of proteins, which are generally regarded as protective molecules that play a wide variety of roles and can be expressed in response to different types of cellular stresses. In recent years, numerous studies have reported their implication in various ocular diseases including diabetic retinopathy. The present review focuses on the potential implication of Hsps in ocular diabetic complications and discusses their specific mechanisms of regulation with respect to their expression, functions and alteration during diabetes. The review will conclude by examining the potential of Hsps as therapeutic agents or targets for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
