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

Graded refractive index lenses are inherent to advanced visual systems in animals. By understanding their formation and local optical properties, significant potential for improved ocular healthcare may be realized. We report a novel technique measuring the developing optical power of the eye lens, in a living animal, by exploiting the orthogonal imaging modality of a selective plane illumination microscope (SPIM). We have quantified the maturation of the lenticular refractive index at three different visible wavelengths using a combined imaging and ray tracing approach. We demonstrate that the method can be used with transgenic and vital dye labeling as well as with both fixed and living animals. Using a key eye lens morphogen and its inhibitor, we have measured their effects both on lens size and on refractive index. Our technique provides insights into the mechanisms involved in the development of this natural graded index micro-lens and its associated optical properties.
