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

Inflammation has been implicated in a variety of retinal diseases. The immunoproteasome plays a critical role in controlling inflammatory responses, but whether activation of immunoproteasome contributes to angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced retinopathy remains unclear. Hypertensive retinopathy (HR) was induced by infusion of Ang II (3000 ng/kg/min) in wild-type (WT) and immunoproteasome subunit LMP10 knockout (KO) mice for 3 weeks. Changes in retinal morphology, vascular permeability, superoxide production and inflammation were examined by pathological staining. Our results showed that immunoproteasome subunit LMP10 expression and its trypsin-like activity were significantly upregulated in the retinas and serum of Ang II-infused mice and in the serum from patients with hypertensive retinopathy. Moreover, Ang II-infused WT mice showed an increase in the central retinal thickness, vascular permeability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inflammation compared with saline controls, and these effects were significantly attenuated in LMP10 KO mice, but were aggravated in mice intravitreally injected with rAAV2-LMP10. Interestingly, administration of IKKβ specific inhibitor IMD-0354 remarkably blocked an Ang II-induced increase in vascular permeability, oxidative stress and inflammation during retinopathy. Mechanistically, Ang II-induced upregulation of LMP10 promoted PTEN degradation and activation of AKT/IKK signaling, which induced IkBα phosphorylation and subsequent degradation ultimately leading to activation of NF-kB target genes in retinopathy. Therefore, this study provided novel evidence demonstrating that LMP10 is a positive regulator of NF-kB signaling, which contributes to Ang II-induced retinopathy. Strategies for inhibiting LMP10 or IKKβ activity in the eye could serve as a novel therapeutic target for treating hypertensive retinopathy.
