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: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a diabetic microangiopathy with increasing incidence, which seriously threatens the quality of life of patients. This study investigated the molecular regulation mechanism of lipocalin-2 (LCN2) in DR by targeting the function of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRVECs). Methods: The expression of LCN2 in the retinal tissue of diabetic and high glucose (HG)-induced HRVECs was detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis and western blotting assay. After intravitreal injection of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-NC or AAV-sh-LCN2, Results: The expression of LCN2 was significantly up-regulated in diabetic retinal tissue and HG-induced HRVECs. Conclusions: Down-regulation of LCN2 can significantly inhibit cell migration, invasion, and angiopoiesis, and pyroptosis regulated by caspase-1, thus attenuating the progression of DR.
