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

introductionIntegrins are a family of multi-functional cell-adhesion molecules, heterodimeric receptors that connect extracellular matrix (ECM) to actin cytoskeleton in the cell cortex, thus regulating cellular adhesion, migration, proliferation, invasion, survival, and apoptosis. Consequently, integrins play a role in inflammation, angiogenesis and fibrosis. AREAS COVERED: This review examines individual anti-integrin agents in terms of their chemical nature, route of administration, and anti-integrin action. It also provides a summary of preclinical and clinical studies. Current clinical candidates include risuteganib, THR-687, and SF-0166, which have shown promise in treating diabetic macular edema (DME) and/or age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in early clinical studies. Preclinical candidates include SB-267268, AXT-107, JNJ-26076713, Cilengitide and Lebecetin, which exhibit a decrease in retinal permeability, angiogenesis and/or choroidal neovascularization (CNV). EXPERT OPINION: Anti-integrin therapies show potential in treating retinal diseases. Anti-integrin agents tackle the multi-factorial nature of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and AMD and show promise as injectable and topical agents in preclinical and early clinical studies. Integrin inhibition has potential to serve as primary therapy, adjunctive therapy to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, or secondary therapy in refractory cases.
