Glucose-regulated protein 78 in the aqueous humor in diabetic macular edema patients.
Article in Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In this study, we explored the presence and elevation of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in aqueous humor of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).After comparing DME patients with the controls, we analyzed GRP78 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in DME patients. We examined factors associated with GRP78 levels in DME patients.GRP78 was detected in aqueous humor with elevated levels in DME patients. Stepwise backward regression analysis showed that GRP78 levels were associated with the VEGF levels and the duration of diabetes (P < .001 and P = .002, respectively). However, no statistical significance was observed between GRP78 levels and the decrease in CST following 3 monthly anti-VEGF treatments in univariate regression analysis (P = .695).We showed that GRP78 is elevated in DME patients. In addition, there is a correlation between GRP78 and VEGF levels in aqueous humor. However, GRP78 levels were not associated with the responsiveness of anti-VEGF in DME patients.
