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

Mast cells, historically known for their function as effector cells in the induction of allergic diseases, reside in all vascularized tissues of the body, particularly, in proximity to blood and lymphatic vessels. Despite being neighboring sentinel cells to blood vessels, whether the spatial distribution of mast cells regulates the degree of angiogenesis remains to be investigated. Herein, an asymmetrical distribution of mast cells was shown at the murine ocular surface, with the higher number of mast cells distributed along the nasal limbus of the cornea compared with the temporal side. Using a well-characterized murine model of suture-induced corneal neovascularization, insult to the nasal side was shown to result in more extensive angiogenesis compared with that to the temporal side. To directly assess the impact of the spatial distribution of mast cell on angiogenesis, neovascularization was induced in mast cell-deficient mice (cKit
