Comparative Study of the Effects of Trabecular Meshwork Outflow Drugs on the Permeability and Nitric Oxide Production in Trabecular Meshwork Cells.
Article in Korean journal of ophthalmology : KJO, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo compare the effects of the barrier function in human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells monolayer and the production of nitric oxide (NO) between trabecular outflow drugs, Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitors, adenosine, and statin.
methodsPrimary cultured TM cells were exposed to 10 or 25 μM Y-27632, 0.1 or 1 μM N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), or 15 or 30 μM simvastatin for 24 hours. NO production and expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase mRNA were measured by Griess assay and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Barrier functions of the TM cell monolayer were measured by carboxyfluorescein and trans-endothelial electrical resistance. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 mRNA was assessed with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
resultsIn TM cells, treatment with each drug increased endothelial nitric oxide synthase mRNA expression. Treatment with 25 μM Y-27632 and 1.0 μM CHA increased NO production significantly (p = 0.035 and p = 0.043, respectively). Treatment with each drug increased the permeability (all p = 0.001) and decreased the trans-endothelial electron resistance of the TM cell monolayer. Treatment with 0.1 μM and 1.0 μM CHA significantly increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 mRNA expression, but simvastatin inhibited its expression.
conclusionsSince treatment with ROCK inhibitor more greatly increased NO production and permeability than did adenosine or statin, ROCK inhibitor seems to be more effective for lowering intraocular pressure.
