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.

Abstract

Maintenance of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) activity is relied on axonal transport conveying materials required for their survival such as neurotrophic factors. Kinesin-1 undergoes anterograde transport in axons, and Alcadein α (Alcα; also called calsyntenin-1) is a major cargo adaptor protein that can drive kinesin-1 to transport vesicles containing Alcα. The long-term effects of Alcα-deficiency on retinal morphology and survival of RGCs during postnatal development were examined in Alcα knockout mice. At 1.5, 3, 6, and 15 months postnatal, the number of retrogradely labeled RGCs was determined in flat-mounted retinas of Alcα-deficient and wild-type mice. Retinal damage was assessed histologically by determining the retinal thickness. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with a Tonolab tonometer. At 1.5 months postnatal, the number of retrogradely labeled RGCs was not different between wild-type and Alcα-deficient mice. However, at 3, 6, and 15 months postnatal, the number of RGCs was significantly lower in Alcα deficient mice than those of wild-type mice (143 ± 41.1 cells/mm
