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

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the outermost layer of the retina, provides essential support to both the neural retina and choroid. Additionally, the RPE is highly active in modulating functions of immune cells such as microglia, which migrate to the subretinal compartment during aging and age-related degeneration. Recently, studies have highlighted the important roles of microRNA (miRNA) in the coordination of general tissue maintenance as well as in chronic inflammatory conditions. In this study, we analyzed the miRNA profiles in extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by the RPE, and identified and validated miRNA species whose expression levels showed age-dependent changes in the EVs. Using co-culture of RPE and retinal microglia, we further demonstrated that miR-21 was transferred between the two types of cells, and the increased miR-21 in microglia influenced the expression of genes downstream of the p53 pathway. These findings suggest that exosome-mediated miRNA transfer is a signaling mechanism that contributes to the regulation of microglia function in the aging retina.
