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

Acute ocular chemical burns are ophthalmic emergencies requiring immediate diagnosis and treatment as they may lead to permanent impairment of vision. The clinical manifestations of such burns are produced by exacerbated innate immune response via the infiltration of inflammatory cells and activation of stromal fibroblasts. New therapies are emerging that are dedicated to repair mechanisms that improve the ocular surface after damage; for example, transplantation of stem cells (SC) has been successfully reported for this purpose. The pursuit of easily accessible, noninvasive procedures to obtain SC has led researchers to focus on human tissues such as amniotic membrane. Human amniotic mesenchymal SC (hAM-MSC) inhibits proinflammatory and fibrotic processes in different diseases. hAM-MSC expresses low levels of classical MHC-I and they do not express MHC-II, making them suitable for regenerative medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intracameral injection of hAM-MSC on the clinical manifestations, the infiltration of inflammatory cells, and the activation of stromal fibroblasts in a corneal alkali-burn model. We also determined the in vitro effect of hAM-MSC conditioned medium (CM) on α-SMA
