Inhibitive effect of TAK-242 on Tenon's capsule fibroblasts proliferation in rat eyes.
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 3 papers.
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 study the inhibition effect of TAK-242 on the proliferation of rat eye Tenon's capsule fibroblasts
methodsSD rat Tenon's capsule fibroblasts were extracted and cultured, then the cells were divided into normal control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (10 g/mL LPS) and TAK-242 group (1 µmol/L TAK-242, and 10 µg/mL LPS after 30min). The expressions of TLR4, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in each group were detected by Western blot and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8).
resultsDouble immunofluorescent labeling in the extracted cells showed negative keratin staining and positive vimentin staining. Western blot showed that the LPS group had the highest expression of TLR4 and TGF-β1 (
conclusionTAK-242 inhibits the proliferation of LPS-induced Tenon's capsule fibroblasts and the release of inflammatory factors by regulating the TLR4 signaling pathway, providing a new idea for reducing the scarring of the filter passage after glaucoma filtration surgery.
