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

aims or purposeGlaucoma is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the world. Elucidating the pathogenesis of glaucoma and developing effective treatment should be the priority. Inflammation and oxidative stress play essential roles in glaucoma pathogeneisis. Kaempferol is a natural flavonol and has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. In this study, we explored the potential effects of kaempferol on acute glaucoma.

methodsWe established the retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) mice model and administrated kaempferol to I/R mice. We monitored the retina thickness change, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death, caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation, NLRP1/NLRP3 inflammasomes activation, pro-inflammatory cytokines production, and activations of NF-κB and MAPKs signaling pathways.

resultsKaempferol prevented retina thickness change and RGC death in I/R mice. The activations of caspase-8, caspase-3, and NLRP1/NLRP3 inflammasome activation were inhibited by kaempferol. Kaempferol prevented pro-inflammatory cytokines productions in I/R mice. The activation of NF-κB and JNK signaling pathways was also inhibited by Kaempferol in I/R mice.

conclusionKaempferol attenuated retinal ganglion cell death by suppressing NLRP1/NLRP3 inflammasomes and caspase-8 via inhibiting NF-κB and JNK pathways in acute glaucoma.
