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

Background: To investigate the role of microglia polarization in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, and study the mechanism of ALKBH5-mediated m Methods: Diabetics rats were constructed and the M1/M2 polarization of retinal microglia was determined using immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Glucose at different concentrations was added to treat the microglia, and the polarization rate was detected. RNA sequencing was performed to identify the differentially expressed gene in glucose treated microglia, and A20 expression was confirmed by qRT-PCR and western blotting. Lentiviruses encoding shRNA for A20 or overexpressing A20 were constructed to clarify the role of A20 in microglia polarization Results: Diabetics rats showed a higher M1 polarization rate but lower M2 polarization rate of retinal microglia. With the increase of glucose concentration, microglia tend to polarize into M1 inflammatory type rather than M2 anti-inflammatory type. Shown by RNA sequencing, glucose treated microglia showed a differentially expressed gene profile, which was enriched in kinds of inflammatory categories and pathways. A20 expression was lower in microglia with glucose treatment, which was demonstrated to negatively regulate the M1 polarization. Moreover, intraocular injection of A20-overexpression lentiviruses (OE-A20) rectified the enhanced M1 retinal microglia polarization of diabetes rats. The higher m Conclusion: Lower expression A20 resulted in the enhanced M1 polarization of retinal microglia in diabetic retinopathy, which was caused by ALKBH5 mediated m
