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

Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells have crucial roles in the initiation and development of human ophthalmic diseases. Our previous study suggested that transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a potential target in the progression and pathogenesis of human proliferative vitreoretinopathy disease. The present study further analyzed the role of TAK1 inhibitor, LYTAK1, in human RPE cells and explored the potential molecular mechanism of LYTAK1-mediated proliferation of human RPE cells. Proliferation of human RPE cells was investigated following treatment with LYTAK1 and knockdown of TGF-β. TGF-β-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through regulation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)
