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

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a worldwide leading cause of blindness affecting individuals over 50 years old. The most aggressive form, wet AMD, is characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and inflammation involving microglia recruitment. By using a laser-induced CNV mouse model, we provide evidence for a key role played by miR-142-3p during CNV formation. MiR-142-3p was overexpressed in murine CNV lesions and its pharmacological inhibition decreased vascular and microglia densities by 46% and 30%, respectively. Consistently, miR-142-3p overexpression with mimics resulted in an increase of 136% and 126% of blood vessels and microglia recruitment. Interestingly, miR-142-3p expression was linked to the activation state of mouse microglia cells as determined by morphological analysis (cell solidity) through a computational method.
