LncRNAs in genetic basis of glaucoma.
Review in BMJ open ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Glaucoma is an umbrella term used to designate a heterogeneous group of ocular disorders characterised by progressive excavation of the optic disc, optic atrophy and gradual loss of the visual field caused by the slow death of retinal ganglion cells and their axons. Glaucoma can potentially lead to blindness if left untreated. It usually starts from the periphery and progresses gradually toward the centre of the visual field. Vision loss caused by glaucoma is irreversible and causes a heavy burden on affected families and society, therefore the importance of early diagnosis and prevention should be emphasised. Genetic factors appear to play a role in glaucoma pathogenesis; it has been shown that individuals with a positive family history are at a greater risk because they are more likely predisposed be affected. Notable advances have been recorded in the past decade concerning the genetic and environmental factors likely to contribute or cause glaucoma with the discovery of multiple glaucoma-associated genes and genetic loci. Thorough investigations by a handful of studies on the function of long non-coding RNAs discovered that, although lacking protein-coding potential, lncRNAs can still participate in the regulation of gene expression at various levels, thus their possible implication in different disease aetiologies. In this review, we focus on the lncRNAs characteristics and its regulation, and summarise these results from separate, independent, glaucoma-related studies in addition to discussing possible pathways by which lncRNAs might contribute to glaucoma.
