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

Transient potential receptor vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is an ion channel responsible for sensing osmotic and mechanical signals, which in turn regulates calcium signaling across cell membranes. TRPV4 is widely expressed throughout the body, and plays an important role in normal physiological function, as well as different pathologies, however, its role in the eye is not well known. In the eye, TRPV4 is expressed in various tissues, such as the retina, corneal epithelium, ciliary body, and the lens. In this review, we provide an overview on TRPV4 structure, activation, mutations, and summarize the current knowledge of TRPV4 function and signaling mechanisms in various locations throughout the eye, as well as its role in ocular diseases, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Based on the available data, we highlight the therapeutic potential of TRPV4 as well as the shortcomings of current research. Finally, we provide future perspectives on the implications of targeting TRPV4 to treat various ocular pathologies.
