The neuroprotective effect of staurosporine on mouse retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve injury.

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
This study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective properity of staurosporine (STS) and identify the neuroprotective mechanism of staurosporine in mouse retina ganglion cell after optic nerve injured. Mice (C57BL/6) were anaesthetised with a mixture of 5 mg/kg xylazine hydrochloride and 40 mg/kg tiletamine/zolazepam (Zoletil®). Optic nerves of the mice were crushed (Templeton JP et al., 2012). With micro-forceps, the bulbar conjunctiva was grasped and retracted, rotating the globe nasally. The exposed optic nerve was grasped approximately 1-3 mm from the globe with Dumont #N7 cross-action forceps for 10 s. One day after crushing, intravitreal injections of STS (500 nM) were administered using a Narishige IM-300 air pressure regulator. For analysing the change in ganglion cell number, the mice were allowed to live for 30 days, after which they were killed and the ganglion cell survival was assessed. A significant and marked loss of fluorescent spots was found after 30 days, with fewer 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)-expressing retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) remaining in the injured and phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-injected group than those in non-injured PBS-injected controls. However, RGC cell numbers dramatically increased in the STS intravitreal injection group. Moreover, degradation of nerve fibre (NF) was markedly reduced in the STS injection group compared with the injured and PBS-injected group by inducing astrocyte expression of Bcl-2. Our data suggested that injection of STS into the vitreous may have a potential therapeutic effect in retinal diseases such as glaucoma.
