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

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of adenosine and an adenosine receptor antagonist on the expression of the L-glutamate/L-aspartate transporter (GLAST) in the retina of a chronic ocular hypertension (COH) rat model. COH models were established via the cauterization of three episcleral veins. Measurements of the intraocular pressure of the right eye (COH eye) were taken weekly by a handheld digital tonometer. A total of 10 µM adenosine or 10 µM adenosine + 100 nM SCH442416 solution (2 µl) was injected into the rat vitreous space. The reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect GLAST expression. Compared with the COH group, GLAST mRNA expression was decreased by 33.6% in the group treated with adenosine (n=6, P=0.020) and was increased by 159.6% in the group treated with SCH442416 (n=6, P=0.001). Administration of adenosine decreased GLAST protein expression by 34.7% (n=6, P<0.001), while treatment with the adenosine A
