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.
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
purposeWe investigated the progressive degeneration of retinal and superior collicular functions in a mouse model of sustained ocular hypertension.
methodsFocal laser illumination and injection of polystyrene microbeads were used to induce chronic ocular hypertension. Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss was characterized by in vivo optical coherence tomography (OCT) and immunohistochemistry. Retinal dysfunction was also monitored by the full-field ERG. Retinal ganglion cell light responses were recorded using a 256-channel multielectrode array (MEA), and RGC subtypes were characterized by noncentered spike-triggered covariance (STC-NC) analysis. Single-unit extracellular recordings from superficial layers of the superior colliculus (SC) were performed to examine the receptive field (RF) properties of SC neurons.
resultsThe elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) lasted 4 months in mice treated with a combination of laser photocoagulation and microbead injection. Progressive RGC loss and functional degeneration were confirmed in ocular hypertensive (OHT) mice. These mice had fewer visually responsive RGCs than controls. Using the STC-NC analysis, we classified RGCs into ON, OFF, and ON-OFF functional subtypes. We showed that ON and OFF RGCs were more susceptible to the IOP elevation than ON-OFF RGCs. Furthermore, SC neurons of OHT mice had weakened responses to visual stimulation and exhibited mismatched ON and OFF subfields and irregular RF structure.
conclusionsWe demonstrated that the functional degeneration of RGCs is subtype-dependent and that the ON and OFF pathways from the retina to the SC were disrupted. Our study provides a foundation to investigate the mechanisms underlying the progressive vision loss in experimental glaucoma.
