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

background and purposeInhibition of monocarboxylate transport 1 (MCT1) is of interest in targeting highly glycolytic tumours. However, MCT1 is expressed in retina, and so inhibition of MCT1 could affect retinal function. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: AZD3965, an MCT1 inhibitor selected for clinical development, and two additional MCT1 inhibitors were evaluated for effects on visual acuity in albino (Han Wistar) rats. The effects of AZD3965 on visual acuity and electroretinography (ERG) were further investigated in pigmented (Long-Evans) rats, with dosing for up to 7 days. KEY

resultsAll three MCT1 inhibitors reduced visual acuity within 2 h of dosing, suggesting a class effect. The deficit caused by AZD3965 (1,000 mg·kg CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: This study clarifies the role of the MCT1 transporter in retinal function. The monitorability of the functional effects on the retina enabled safe clinical use of AZD3965.
