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

objectiveTo investigate the changes in retinal transcriptome profile of mice with endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU)following dexamethasone (DEX) treatment and explore the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of DEX.

methodsEIU was induced in BALB/c mice by intravitreal injection of 125 ng lipopolysaccharide (LPS), followed by topical applicationof DEX (0.1%) eye drops every 4 h for 24 h. The anterior chamber inflammation was examined with a slit lamp and the clinicalscores were assessed. The morphological changes in the eyes were assessed at 24 h after LPS injection. The retinas wereharvested for analysis of transcriptome profile using the next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and the expressions of the inflammatory cytokines and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were verified using real-timePCR.

resultsDEX alleviated the inflammatory response and reduced the mRNA expressions of IL-6, TNF-

conclusionsDEX alleviates LPS-induced inflammatory response inthe retina of mice, and such protective effect is probably mediated by RIG-I like receptor signal pathway and the immune-andinflammation-related genes.
