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

purpose of reviewThis review aims to highlight the current knowledge about inflammatory mechanisms of neurodegeneration in glaucoma with emphasis on potential immunomodulation strategies. RECENT

findingsGlaucomatous retina and optic nerve present multiple evidences of inflammatory responses of astroglia, microglia, and blood-born immune cells. Although adaptive/protective responses of resident or systemic immune cells can support neurons and promote tissue repair mechanisms after injurious insults, prolonged inflammatory processes can also produce neurotoxic mediators. Treatments targeting these neurodestructive outcomes may restore immune homeostasis and protect neurons from inflammatory injury. Due to widespread and chronic nature of neuroinflammation in glaucoma, immunomodulation offers a treatment strategy to protect different neuronal compartments of RGCs during the chronic and asynchronous course of neurodegeneration. Uncovering of distinct molecular responses and interactions of different immune cells that determine the neuroinflammatory phenotype and participate in neurodegenerative outcomes will be critical to develop effective strategies for immunomodulation in glaucoma. SUMMARY: Neuroinflammation has increasingly been recognized to play an important role in glaucomatous neurodegeneration, and its modulation appears to be a promising treatment strategy for neuroprotection.
