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

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) induces the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier and promotes neuroinflammation, although autoimmune responses to sequestered retinal antigens remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the autoantibodies for retinal antigens in sera from diabetic macular edema (DME) patients. Screening by immunoblotting demonstrated that IgG from 7 of 10 DME sera samples reacted to an ~102-kDa autoantigen from porcine retinas. Immunoprecipitation with autoantibodies from DME sera and subsequent mass spectrometry enabled us to identify hexokinase 1 as an autoantigen reactive to IgG from DME sera. IgG in 7 of 10 DME sera partially colocalized to hexokinase 1 in the outer plexiform layer of rodent retinas. Quantitative analyses using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays revealed that the serum titers of this autoantibody were significantly higher in the DME sera than those in the sera from diabetic patients without DME, and 20 (24.1%) of the 83 DME serum samples had higher IgG titers than the cutoff value (mean + 2 standard deviations of the sera from diabetic patients without DR). Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that the higher titer of anti-hexokinase 1 IgG was clinically feasible for the diagnosis of DME. These data identify anti-hexokinase 1 antibody as a serum biomarker of a subset of DME.
