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

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of minocycline (MC) on the survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in an ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury model of retinal degeneration. Methods: Retinal I/R injury was induced in the left eye of mice for 60 min by maintaining intraocular pressure at 90 mmHg. Low- or high-dose MC (20 or 100 mg/kg, respectively) was administered by intravenous injection at 5 min after the retinal ischemic insult and then administered once daily until the mice were euthanized. RGCs and microglial cells were counted using immunofluorescence staining. Functional changes in the RGCs were evaluated using electroretinography. The visual function was assessed using an optokinetic test. Results: The data demonstrated that the effect of MC was dose dependent. Low-dose MC showed protective effects, with reduced RGC loss and microglial activation, while the high-dose MC showed damage effects, with more RGC loss and microglial activation when compared with the vehicle group. The electroretinography and optokinetic test results were consistent with the morphologic observations. Conclusions: These data suggested that appropriate concentrations of MC can protect the retina against retinal ischemic-reperfusion injury, while excessive MC has detrimental effects.
