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

Retinal neovascularization (RNV) is an important pathological feature of vitreoretinopathy that can lead to severe vision loss. The purpose of this study was to identify the role of ephrin-A5 (Efna5) in RNV and to explore its mechanism. The expression pattern and biological significance of Efna5 were investigated in a mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR). The expression of Efna5 and downstream signaling pathway members was determined by RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and western blot analyses. shRNA was used to knockdown Efna5 in the retina of the OIR mouse model. Retinal flat mounts were performed to evaluate the impact of Efna5 silencing on the RNV process. We found that the Efna5 was greatly upregulated in the retina of OIR mice. Elevated Efna5 mainly colocalized with the retinal vessels and endothelial cells. We then showed that knockdown of Efna5 in OIR mouse retinas using lentivirus-mediated shRNA markedly decreased the expression of Efna5 and reduced the retinal neovascularization and avascular retina area. We further showed hypoxia stimulation dramatically increased both total and phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2 and the phosphorylation levels of Akt in OIR mice. More importantly, knockdown of Efna5 could inhibit the p-Akt and p-ERK signaling pathways. Our results suggested that Efna5 may regulate the RNV. This study suggests that Efna5 was significantly upregulated in the retina of OIR mice and closely involved in the pathological retinal angiogenesis.
