In vitro biomechanical modulation--retinal detachment in a box.

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
backgroundTo illustrate the importance of biomechanical impact on tissue health within the central nervous system (CNS), we herein describe an in vitro model of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in which disruption and restoration of physical tissue support can be studied in isolation.
methodsAdult retinal porcine explants were kept in culture for 3 or 12 hours without any tissue support, simulating clinical RRD, after which they were either maintained in this state or reattached to the culture membrane for an additional 48 hours.
resultsIn vitro detachment resulted in gliosis and severe progressive loss of retinal neurons. In contrast, if the explant was reattached, gliosis and overall cell death was attenuated, ganglion cell death was arrested, and the number of transducin-expressing cone photoreceptors increased.
conclusionsThese results support the hypothesis that removal of the elastic retina from its normal physical environment results in degenerative damage, and, if restored, rescues retinal neurons. Our study reinforces the notion of a strong relationship between the biomechanical environment and homeostasis within the retina, which has significant bearing on pathologic events related to RRD, and may also have impact on other regions within the CNS under biomechanical influence.
