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

Purpose: To compare the treatment effects and tolerability of a topical application of mizoribine (MZR) and cyclosporine A (CsA) eye drops (Restasis; Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) in a mouse dry eye model. Methods: C57BL/6 mice subjected to desiccating stress (DS) were treated with 0.05% MZR in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or Restasis eye drops four times a day for 5 days. Untreated mice served as control. Tear secretion, Oregon green dextran staining, and the conjunctival goblet cell quantity were evaluated. The apoptosis and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) in the ocular surface, conjunctival CD4, and T helper-related cytokines were verified. The ocular tolerance of these two drugs was evaluated by observing the mice's behavioral changes. Results: Topical administrations of MZR or Restasis both increased tear production, maintained goblet cell density, and improved corneal barrier function. Both MZR and Restasis suppressed the expression of MMP-9 and apoptosis in the ocular surface. Meanwhile, both MZR and Restasis decreased the infiltration of CD4 Conclusions: MZR (0.05% in PBS) could be a good competitive product for Restasis because of the comparable treatment effect in dry eye diseases and better ocular tolerability in ocular itch and pain. Translational Relevance: This study provided an immunosuppressive agent comparable to Restasis for the treatment of dry eye disease.
