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

backgroundOcular disease is known widely to occur in a subset of patients experiencing inflammatory bowel diseases. Although this extraintestinal manifestation has been recognized for a number of years, the pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for this distant organ inflammatory response are unknown.

methodsIn the current study, we used a T-cell transfer model of chronic colitis in mice in which we quantified colonic inflammation, ocular function (electroretinography), ocular blood flow (intravital microscopy of the retina), intraocular pressure, and retinal hypoxia.

resultsOcular function in colitic mice was significantly impaired, with decreases in retinal b-wave amplitudes and oscillatory potentials. Moreover, retinal a waves and oscillatory potentials were delayed. Retinal blood flow was significantly reduced in the colitic mice, and this decrease in perfusion coupled with significant decreases in hematocrit would decrease oxygen delivery to the eye. Accordingly, mice with severe colitis showed increased levels of immunostaining for the hypoxia-dependent probe pimonidazole. Finally, intraocular pressures were found to be reduced in the colitic mice.

conclusionsOcular disease occurs in a mouse model of chronic colitis, with retinal dysfunction seeming to be related to insufficient perfusion and oxygen delivery.
