Retrobulbar administration of purified anti-nerve growth factor in developing rats induces structural and biochemical changes in the retina and cornea.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo develop an experimental model of endogenous nerve growth factor (NGF) deprivation by retrobulbar administration of purified neutralizing anti-NGF antibodies in young Sprague-Dawley rats and provide further information on NGF expression in the retina and cornea.
methodsSixty old pathogen-free Sprague Dawley rats (p14, post-natal days) were treated with repeated retrobulbar injections of neutralizing anti-NGF (2 µL, 100 µg/mL, every 3d). After 2wk (p28), retinal and corneal tissues were investigated for morphological, biochemical, and molecular expression of trkA
resultsChronic retrobulbar neutralizing anti-NGF antibodies changed the distribution of trkA
conclusionThe reduced availability of endogenous NGF, as produced by chronic retrobulbar anti-NGF administration, produce a quick response from retinal tissues, with respect to corneal ones, suggesting the presence of early compensatory mechanisms to protect retinal networking.
