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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to determine the therapeutic effect and mechanism of AAV-MnSOD by intravitreal injection on diabetic retinopathy (DRP) and the metabolic memory phenomenon.

methodsThe effect of hyperglycemia and metabolic memory on the thickness of basement membrane, ratio of pericyte area and cross-sectional area of capillary vessels in the nerve fiber layer and outer plexiform layer; retinal capillary cell apoptosis; number of acellular capillaries and activities of retinal MnSOD and catalase were examined and compared with intravitreal injection of AAV-MnSOD by transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL assay, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry.

resultsHyperglycemia increased the thickness of capillary basement membranes in the nerve fiber layer and outer plexiform layer, decreased the ratio of pericyte area and cross-sectional area of capillary vessels, increased numbers of acellular capillaries and apoptosis of retinal capillary cells, and decreased activities of retinal MnSOD and catalase. Termination of hyperglycemia cannot reverse pathological changes listed above. Intra-vitreal injection of AAV-MnSOD dramatically elevated the level and activities of retinal MnSOD and catalase, and effectively prevented the progression of DRP and the metabolic memory phenomenon.

conclusionsIncreasing reactive oxygen species concentration and continuous decreasing of antioxidant enzyme activity play important roles in DRP and the metabolic memory phenomenon. AAV-MnSOD gene therapy provides a promising strategy to inhibit this blinding disease.
