Eucalyptol Inhibits Amyloid-β-Induced Barrier Dysfunction in Glucose-Exposed Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells and Diabetic Eyes.
Article in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Hyperglycemia elicits tight junction disruption and blood-retinal barrier breakdown, resulting in diabetes-associated vison loss. Eucalyptol is a natural compound found in eucalyptus oil with diverse bioactivities. This study evaluated that eucalyptol ameliorated tight junctions and retinal barrier function in glucose/amyloid-β (Aβ)-exposed human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and in db/db mouse eyes. RPE cells were cultured in media containing 33 mM glucose or 5 μM Aβ for 4 days in the presence of 1-20 μM eucalyptol. The in vivo animal study employed db/db mice orally administrated with 10 mg/kg eucalyptol. Nontoxic eucalyptol inhibited the Aβ induction in glucose-loaded RPE cells and diabetic mouse eyes. Eucalyptol reversed the induction of tight junction-associated proteins of ZO-1, occludin-1 and matrix metalloproteinases in glucose- or Aβ-exposed RPE cells and in diabetic eyes, accompanying inhibition of RPE detachment from Bruch's membrane. Adding eucalyptol to glucose- or Aβ-loaded RPE cells, and diabetic mouse eyes reciprocally reversed induction/activation of apoptosis-related bcl-2, bax, cytochrome C/Apaf-1 and caspases. Eucalyptol attenuated the generation of reactive oxygen species and the induction of receptor for advanced glycation end products in Aβ-exposed RPE cells and diabetic eyes. Eucalyptol may ameliorate RPE barrier dysfunction in diabetic eyes through counteracting Aβ-mediated oxidative stress-induced RPE cell apoptosis.
