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 rabbit retinal vein occlusion (RVO) model is an experimental system that mimics retinal ischemic diseases in humans. The rabbit RVO model is widely used to assess the therapeutic efficacy of various experimental surgical procedures. In the present study, we measured temporal retinal expression of Vegfa, which is known as an ischemic response gene, in rabbit RVO. This analysis revealed that the retinal Vegfa transcriptional response began 7 days after generation of RVO, rather than immediately after induction of ischemia. Next, in order to analyze ischemia-induced changes in gene expression profiles, we performed microarray analysis of day 7 RVO retina versus control retina. The angiogenic regulators Dcn and Mmp1 and pro-inflammatory factors Mmp12 and Cxcl13 were significantly upregulated in RVO retinas. Further, we suggest that epigenetic regulation via the REST/cofactor-complex could contribute to RVO pathology. Among human homologous genes in rabbits, genes associated with hypoxia, angiogenesis, and inflammation were significantly upregulated in RVO retinas. Components of the Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, which play regulatory roles in angiogenesis and inflammation, were significantly upregulated in RVO, and the expression levels of downstream factors, such as the transcription factor AP-1 and chemokines, were increased. Further, connectivity map analyses suggested that inhibitors of the NF-κB pathway are potential therapeutic agents for retinal ischemic disease. The present study revealed new insights into the pathology of retinal ischemia using the rabbit RVO model, which accurately recapitulates human disease.
