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

purposeIntraocular pressure (IOP) varies between genetically distinct strains of mice. The purpose was to test the hypothesis that strain-dependent differences in IOP are attributable to differences in conventional outflow facility (C).

methodsThe IOP was measured by rebound tonometry in conscious or anesthetized BALB/cJ, C57BL/6J, and CBA/J mice (N = 6-10 per strain). Conventional outflow facility was measured by ex vivo perfusion of enucleated eyes (N = 9-10 per strain).

resultsConscious IOP varied between strains, being highest in CBA/J (14.5 ± 0.9 mm Hg, mean ± SD), intermediate in C57BL/6J (12.3 ± 1.0 mm Hg), and lowest in BALB/cJ (10.6 ± 1.8 mm Hg) mice. Anesthesia reduced IOP and eliminated any detectable differences between strains. Conventional outflow facility also varied between strains, but, in contrast to IOP, C was lowest in CBA/J (0.0113 ± 0.0031 μL/min/mm Hg) and highest in BALB/cJ (0.0164 ± 0.0059 μL/min/mm Hg). Like IOP, C was intermediate in C57BL/6J (0.0147 ± 0.0029 μL/min/mm Hg). There was a strong correlation between conscious IOP and outflow resistance (1/C) from individual eyes across all three strains, revealing that 70% of the variation in IOP was attributable to variation in outflow resistance.

conclusionsDifferences in IOP among three genetically distinct murine strains are attributable largely to differences in conventional outflow facility. These results motivate further studies using mice to identify the morphologic and genetic factors that underlie IOP regulation within the conventional outflow pathway.
