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 pathophysiology of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is postulated to first involve delayed intraretinal vascularization, followed by intravitreal neovascularization (IVNV). Although intravitreal agents that reduce the bioactivity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are used to treat IVNV, concerns exist regarding their effects on intraretinal vascularization. In an experimental ROP model, VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) knockdown in retinal endothelial cells reduced IVNV and promoted intraretinal vascularization, whereas knockdown of a downstream effector, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in retinal endothelial cells only reduced IVNV. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the different pathways involved in VEGF-triggered VEGFR2 signaling and VEGF-triggered STAT3 signaling in retinal endothelial cells would allow us to delineate signaling pathways involved in IVNV from those involved in intraretinal vascularization in ROP. To address our hypothesis, we used RNA-sequencing and pathway enrichment analysis to determine changes in the transcriptome of cultured human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs). Of the enriched pathways, inactivation of oncostatin M signaling was predicted by either
