The Effect of Ultraviolet B on Fibrillin-1 and Fibrillin-2 in Human Non-pigmented Ciliary Epithelial Cells
Article in Acta histochemica et cytochemica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The ciliary zonules link the lens to the ciliary body in the eye, controlling the thickness of the lens for focusing through their characteristic elasticity. The ciliary zonules are composed of oxytalan fibers. Physiological or pathological damage to the ciliary zonules, including exposure to ultraviolet (UV)-A and UV-B components, can lead to lens dislocation. However, no studies have shown whether UV affects the ciliary zonule. Here, we assessed the effects of UV light on human nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells (HNPCECs). HNPCECs were cultured for 4 weeks, and expression of fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 was confirmed. In control cultures (0 mJ/cm
