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

Aqueous humour does not drain uniformly through the trabecular meshwork (TM), but rather follows non-uniform or "segmental" routes. In this study, we examined whether segmental outflow patterns in the TM change over time in living mice and whether such changes are affected by age. Segmental outflow patterns were labelled by constant-pressure infusion of fluorescent tracer microparticles into the anterior chamber of anesthetised C57BL/6J mice at 3 or 8 months of age. Two different tracer colours were infused at separate time points with an interval of Δt = 0, 2, 7 or 14 days. In a separate experiment, one tracer was infused in vivo while the second tracer was infused ex vivo after 2 days. The spatial relationship between the two tracer patterns was analysed using the Pearson's correlation coefficient, r. In 3-month-old mice, there was a time-dependent decay in r, which was near unity at Δt = 0 and near zero at Δt = 14 days. In 8-month-old mice, r remained elevated for 14 days. Segmental outflow patterns measured in young mice ex vivo were not significantly different from those measured in vivo after accounting for the expected changes over 2 days. Therefore, segmental outflow patterns are not static in the TM but redistribute over time, achieving near complete loss of correlation by 2 weeks in young healthy mice. There is an age-related decline in the rate at which segmental outflow patterns redistribute in the TM. Further research is needed to understand the dynamic factors controlling segmental outflow.
