Heat Shock Protein 27 Injection Leads to Caspase Activation in the Visual Pathway and Retinal T-Cell Response.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) is one of the small molecular chaperones and is involved in many cell mechanisms. Besides the known protective and helpful functions of intracellular HSP27, very little is known about the mode of action of extracellular HSP27. In a previous study, we showed that intravitreal injection of HSP27 led to neuronal damage in the retina and optic nerve after 21 days. However, it was not clear which degenerative signaling pathways were induced by the injection. For this reason, the pathological mechanisms of intravitreal HSP27 injection after 14 days were investigated. Histological and RT-qPCR analyses revealed an increase in endogenous HSP27 in the retina and an activation of components of the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathway. In addition, an increase in nucleus factor-kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB), as well as of microglia/macrophages and T-cells could be observed. In the optic nerve, however, only an increased apoptosis rate was detectable. Therefore, the activation of caspases and the induction of an incipient immune response seem to be the main triggers for retinal degeneration in this intravitreal HSP27 model.
