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) remains the leading cause of blindness in elderly people, but the pathophysiology of this disease is still largely unknown. We investigated the systemic expression of angiogenesis-regulating growth factors and selected miRNAs known to regulate angiogenesis in AMD patients. We also focused on possible correlations of their expression with the presence of CFH Y402H or ARMS A69S risk variants. A total of 354 AMD patients and 121 controls were enrolled in this study. The levels of angiogenesis-regulating factors were analyzed in plasma samples using Luminex technology. The expression of selected miRNAs was analyzed in peripheral blood plasma using real-time qPCR. The genetic analysis was performed with an Illumina NextSeq500 system. AMD was an independent factor associated with lower levels of angiogenin (β = -0.29,
