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

aimTo investigate the effect of HtrA1 on the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in the light injured model, as well as the expression of the apoptosis related molecules.

methodsThe human RPE cell line ARPE-19 was exposed to blue light to establish the light injured model. The cells were transfected with HtrA1 siRNA to knockdown HtrA1 expression. Subsequent expression of HtrA1 was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. Changes in cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis were assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), Transwell assay and flow cytometry respectively, as well as changes in the mRNA and protein levels of Bax, Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 expression.

resultsHtrA1 was highly expressed in ARPE-19 cells after blue light irradiation. Knockdown of HtrA1 expression inhibited the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of the blue-light-irradiated ARPE-19 cells (

conclusionSilence of HtrA1 may inhibit the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of ARPE-19 cells in light injured model. Moreover, HtrA1 suppression in blue-light-irradiated ARPE-19 cells may ameliorate cell apoptosis through down-regulation of Bax and Caspase-3, and up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression.
