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

Müller glia are non-neuronal support cells that play a vital role in the homeostasis of the eye. Their radial-oriented processes span the width of the retina and respond to injury through a cellular response that can be detrimental or protective depending on the context. In some species, protective responses include the expression of stem cell-like genes which help to fuel new neuron formation and even restoration of vision. In many lower vertebrates including fish and amphibians, this response is well documented, however, in mammals it is severely limited. The remarkable plasticity of cellular reprogramming in lower vertebrates has inspired studies in mammals for repairing the retina and restoring sight, and recent studies suggest that mammals are also capable of regeneration, albeit to a lesser degree. Endogenous regeneration, whereby new retinal neurons are created from existing support cells, offers an exciting alternative approach to existing tissue transplant, gene therapy, and neural prosthetic approaches being explored in parallel. This review will highlight the role of Müller glia during retinal injury and repair. In the end, prospects for advancing retinal regeneration research will be considered.
