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 assess the expression of nestin and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in rat retina after optic nerve transection.

methodsRats were randomly divided into normal control group, sham group and operation group, and used for establishing an animal model of optic nerve transection. Retinal specimen of each group was collected at 3, 48h, 7 and 14d postoperative. Nestin and GFAP expressions on sagittal sections were analyzed by immunohistochemical staining, and protein extraction was analyzed by Western blot.

resultsImmunohistochemical analysis showed that nestin positive staining was rarely detected in normal control group and sham group, while sham group showed weak positive staining at 3h postoperative, the reaction gradually increased at 48h postoperative, and reached its maximum at 7d postoperative, and then decreased at 14d postoperative. Compared to the expression of GFAP, there was not statistically significant obvious difference among three groups (

conclusionThe expression of nestin increased in a time dependent fashion in Müller cells of retina following optic nerve transection, which was statistically significant, but there was no obvious difference in GFAP expression. The results indicate that an increase in colloid synthesis in retina following optic nerve transection can improve the retinal neurons' environment.
