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

Expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1α has been observed in corneal neovascularization (CNV). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), one of the most well-known angiogenic factors in CNV, is under the regulation of HIF-1. The present study aims to investigate the synergistic effects of VEGF and HIF-1α gene silencing on alkali burn-induced CNV in rabbits. The models of rabbits in corneal alkali burn were established. SiRNA recombinant adenovirus was used to explore the synergistic effects of VEGF and HIF-1α gene silencing on alkali burn-induced CNV. CNV area and ultrastructure of cornea were observed. The expression of VEGF and HIF-1α was detected. CNV was observed in rabbits following alkali burn. In addition, overexpressed VEGF and HIF-1α was also observed in rabbits following alkali burn. Then, silencing HIF-1α or silencing VEGF decreased area of CNV, inhibited neovascularization and improved pathological changes, while double-target interference for VEGF and HIF-1α decreased area of CNV inhibited neovascularization, and improved pathological changes to a greater extent. Our study provides evidences emphasizing the distinct notion that VEGF and HIF-1α play the contributory role in alkali burn-induced CNV as a result of double-target interference for VEGF and HIF-1α inhibiting CNV in rabbits following corneal alkali burn.
