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

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common blinding disease in those over 60 years. In 50% of cases it is associated with polymorphisms of complement factor H (FH), implicating immune vulnerability. But such individuals may exhibit abnormal outer retinal blood flow decades before disease initiation, suggesting an early disease footprint. FH is expressed in the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). During development the RPE is adjacent to the site of retinal mitosis and complex regulatory interactions occur between the relatively mature RPE and retinal neuronal precursors that control the cell cycle. Here we ask if the absence of FH from the RPE influences retinal development using a mouse CFH knockout (Cfh
