Effects of etanercept on the apoptosis of ganglion cells and expression of Fas, TNF-α, caspase-8 in the retina of diabetic rats.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimTo evaluate the effects of etanercept on the expression of Fas, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and caspase-8 in the early stage of the apoptotic pathway in diabetic rats, and to explore the therapeutic effect of etanercept on diabetic retinopathy.
methodsA total of 60 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly and evenly divided into 3 groups with 20 rats each, including control group, and diabetic groups with or without treatment. Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were established for diabetic groups. Blood glucose and body weight were measured weekly. All the rats were sacrificed at the 12wk after treatment. The expressions of Fas, TNF-α and caspase-8 in rat retina were quantitatively detected by PCR and Western blot. The leakage of Evan blue was adopted to measure the retinal vascular leakage quantitatively, and to compare it among different groups. TUNEL method was used to compare the amount of apoptotic bodies quantitatively in rat retina ganglion cells under electron microscope.
resultsThe expressions of Fas, TNF-α and caspase-8 in each group were compared
conclusionEtanercept can effectively reduce the expression of Fas, TNF-α and caspase-8, as well as the retinal leakage and retinal cell apoptosis in diabetic rats.
