Knockdown of dickkopf2 inhibits vascular endothelia growth factor expression through the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human retinal pigment epithelial cells under hypoxic conditions.

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
Hypoxia has been demonstrated to be a proangiogenic factor that induces vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Dickkopf2 (DKK2), originally known as Wnt antagonist, has recently been demonstrated to have an important regulatory role in angiogenesis; however, the specific role of DKK2 in RPE cells is not known. In the present study, the effects of DKK2 on VEGF expression under hypoxic conditions were investigated, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved. The results demonstrated that the expression of DKK2 was markedly increased under hypoxic conditions compared with normoxic conditions. Knockdown of DKK2 markedly attenuated the CoCl
