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

To investigate the components of the aqueous humor (AH) in patients with retinoblastoma (RB). We collected 0.1 ml AH of 35 children with RB and 20 patients with congenital cataracts as controls. Multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and Luminex xMAP technology were used to assess 45 cytokines/chemokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and acute-phase proteins in the identification cohort. The concentrations of IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IFN-γ, PIGF-1, VEGF-A, β-NGF, HGF, EGF and FGF-2 were significantly higher in the AH of patients with RB than those in the control group (P<0.05). The study showed that the higher levels of IP-10, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IFN-γ, PIGF-1, VEGF-A, β-NGF, HGF, EGF and FGF-2 in AH may be associated with RB. Our findings may facilitate a better understanding of the molecular pathways of tumors and solid molecular targets for new strategies for therapy and the earlier diagnosis of RB.
