Acetylsalicylic Acid Promotes Corneal Epithelium Migration by Regulating Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in Alkali Burn.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Neutrophils are the first cells to migrate into the cornea in response to alkali burns, and excessive neutrophil infiltration is associated with inflammatory injury and a poorer prognosis. In an effort to understand the mechanisms underlying the inflammation mediated by neutrophils after alkali burns, we examined the role of alkali-activated neutrophils on human corneal epithelial cells (HCEs) proliferation and migration, as well as the effects of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and dexamethasone (DXM) on NETosis. We stimulated human neutrophils with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and observed dose- and time-dependent neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation. We also observed that ASA, but not DXM, significantly inhibited NaOH-induced NETosis. Furthermore, the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB, but not the production of reactive oxygen species, was involved in ASA-regulated NETosis. Moreover, NETs were found to be involved in alkali-activated neutrophils (ANs) induced neutrophil-HCE adhesion. ANs enhanced HCEs proliferation via phagocytosis. Meanwhile, ANs inhibited HCEs migration through the release of NETs, which was partially rescued by 5 mM ASA. In conclusion, ANs may interfere with HCEs proliferation and migration by phagocytosis and NETs formation, respectively. ASA may enhance HCEs migration by decreasing NETs formation through inhibition of NF-κB activation and could be a promising strategy for improving the prognosis of corneal alkali burns.
