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

backgroundMyopia is one of the major eye disorders and the global burden is increasing rapidly. Our purpose is to systematically summarize potential metabolic biomarkers and pathways in myopia to facilitate the understanding of disease mechanisms as well as the discovery of novel therapeutic measures.

methodsMyopia-related metabolomics studies were searched in electronic databases of PubMed and Web of Science until June 2021. Information regarding clinical and demographic characteristics of included studies and metabolomics findings were extracted. Myopia-related metabolic pathways were analysed for differential metabolic profiles, and the quality of included studies was assessed based on the QUADOMICS tool. Pathway analyses of differential metabolites were performed using bioinformatics tools and online software such as the Metaboanalyst 5.0.

resultsThe myopia-related metabolomics studies included in this study consisted of seven human and two animal studies. The results of the study quality assessment showed that studies were all phase I studies and all met the evaluation criteria of 70% or more. The myopia-control serum study identified 23 differential metabolites with the Sphingolipid metabolism pathway beings enriched. The high myopia-cataract aqueous humour study identified 40 differential metabolites with the Arginine biosynthesis pathway being enriched. The high myopia-control serum study identified 43 differential metabolites and 4 pathways were significantly associated with metabolites including Citrate cycle; Alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism; Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism; Biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids (all P value < 0.05).

conclusionsThis study summarizes potential metabolic biomarkers and pathways in myopia, providing new clues to elucidate disease mechanisms.
