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

Glaucoma is a major cause of irreversible blindness. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) regulates the expression of numerous antioxidants within cells and is therefore a focus of current ophthalmic research. To determine the roles of Nrf2 in mediating the glaucoma trabecular meshwork (GTM), the present study evaluated the levels of Nrf2 expression in GTM and human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells by reverse-transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. It was principally observed that Nrf2 expression was downregulated in GTM cells. In addition, to determine the influence of Nrf2 on the apoptosis and proliferation of GTM and HTM cells, transfection assays and western blotting were performed to evaluate the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. The results of the current study indicated that Nrf2 may promote viability and reduce apoptosis in GTM and HTM cells. Collectively, these data suggest that Nrf2 may be a novel therapeutic target to treat glaucoma.
