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

The objective of the current study was to perform a screening of the drug-induced effects of the prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and EP2 agonist, omidenepag (OMD), using two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) cultures of dexamethasone (DEX)-treated human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells. The drug-induced effects on 2D monolayers were characterized by measuring the transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran permeability, the physical properties of 3D spheroids, and the gene expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, including collagen (COL) 1, 4 and 6, and fibronectin (FN), α smooth muscle actin (αSMA), a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) 1-4, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, 9 and 14 and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related factors. DEX induced a significant increase in TEER values and a decrease in FITC-dextran permeability, respectively, in the 2D HTM monolayers, and these effects were substantially inhibited by PGF2α and OMD. Similarly, DEX also caused decreased sizes and an increased stiffness in the 3D HTM spheroids, but PGF2α or OMD had no effects on the stiffness of the spheroids. Upon exposure to DEX, the following changes were observed: the upregulation of
