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
Retinal neovascularization (RNV), a pathological process shared among diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity and other retinopathies, has been widely studied, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the mechanism by which the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis regulates RNV in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model mice and in cell experiments in vitro was characterized. In the retinas of OIR mice, IL-23/IL-17 axis activation was increased and regulated RNV formation, and this effect was accompanied by increased macrophage recruitment and nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain containing receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. Moreover, inhibiting the IL-23/IL-17 axis reduced the number of macrophage and the expression and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. On the other hand, recombinant (r) IL-23p19 and rIL-17A promoted the expression and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, and the proliferation and migration of macrophages. Furthermore, macrophage elimination decreased the activation of IL-23/IL-17 axis and the expression and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. In summary, our experiments showed that the IL-23/IL-17 axis promoted the formation of RNV by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome in retinal macrophages of an OIR mouse model.
