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

purposeTo assess the appropriate dose of sodium nitroprusside for establishing acute retinal photoreceptor degeneration models in rabbits.

methodsSodium nitroprusside (SNP) was delivered intravitreously. Sixteen New Zealand White rabbits are divided into four groups randomly: 0.1 mM, 0.25 mM, 0.5 mM SNP intravitreal injection group (experimental groups), and normal saline intravitreal injection group (control group). Assessments included weight, anterior segment photography, fundus photography, Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunofluorescence, multi-focal electroretinogram (mfERG) and pupillary direct light reflex were performed at baseline and day 28 after injection. The spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and full field electroretinogram (fERG) were performed at baseline and day 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 after injection.

resultsNo complications and no significant different in weight were found among all groups. No obvious change was found by slit lamp and fundus photography after injection in all groups. In SD-OCT exams, a time-dependent and dose-dependent injury of photoreceptor was found in SNP injection groups (

conclusionsSodium nitroprusside of 0.1 mM and 0.25 mM can lead to monolayer photoreceptor degeneration at posterior pole in rabbits and the lesion is stable at 1 month after SNP injection.
