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

Ocular hypertension has been attributed to increased resistance to aqueous outflow often as a result of changes in trabecular meshwork (TM) extracellular matrix (ECM) using in vivo animal models (for example, by genetic manipulation) and ex vivo anterior segment perfusion organ cultures. These are, however, complex and difficult in dissecting molecular mechanisms and interactions. In vitro approaches to mimic the underlying substrate exist by manipulating either ECM topography, mechanics, or chemistry. These models best investigate the role of individual ECM protein(s) and/or substrate property, and thus do not recapitulate the multifactorial extracellular microenvironment; hence, mitigating its physiological relevance for mechanistic studies. Cell-derived matrices (CDMs), however, are capable of presenting a 3D-microenvironment rich in topography, chemistry, and whose mechanics can be tuned to better represent the network of native ECM constituents in vivo. Critically, the composition of CDMs may also be fine-tuned by addition of small molecules or relevant bioactive factors to mimic homeostasis or pathology. Here, we first provide a streamlined protocol for generating CDMs from TM cell cultures from normal or glaucomatous donor tissues. Second, we document how TM cells can be pharmacologically manipulated to obtain glucocorticoid-induced CDMs and how generated pristine CDMs can be manipulated with reagents like genipin. Finally, we summarize how CDMs may be used in mechanistic studies and discuss their probable application in future TM regenerative studies.
