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

Diabetes causes various biochemical changes in the retina; long-term changes in the factors associated with hypoxia and gliosis have rarely been reported. The present study was conducted to explore the changes in these factors in a time-dependent manner in experimental diabetic retinopathy (DR). Diabetes was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The expression of the following factors was examined using immunofluorescence and western blot analysis at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 months after diabetes onset: hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), erythropoietin (EPO), erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), vimentin, glutamate-aspartate transporter (GLAST) and glutamine synthase (GS). The expression of factors such as HIF-1alpha, VEGF, EPO, EPOR, GFAP and vimentin, was up-regulated with the progression of diabetes in the diabetic rat retinas compared to the expression in normal control retinas, whereas the expression of GS and GLAST was down-regulated. Changes in EPO and EPOR appeared 2 weeks after diabetes onset. HIF-1alpha, VEGF and GFAP started to increase at 1 month and vimentin at 4 months after diabetes onset. GS and GLAST started to decrease at 1 month after diabetes onset. The expression of these factors, which are involved in the processes of hypoxia and gliosis, varied at different stages of DR. The time-course change may be helpful in the evaluation of the progression of DR, and it may indicate the optimal intervention time points for DR.
