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
Cataracts account for ~50% of the cases of blindness in individuals worldwide. The apoptosis of lens epithelial cells (LECs) occurs during the formation of cataracts, which is a non-congenital condition. Numerous microRNAs (miRs) have been reported to regulate apoptosis in LECs. For instance, miR-23a expression levels were shown to be upregulated in cataractous lenses; however, the function of miR-23a in cataracts remains undetermined. To establish an
