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

Platelet-derived growth factor-D (PDGF-D) is abundantly expressed in ocular diseases. Yet, it remains unknown whether and how PDGF-D affects ocular cells or cell-cell interactions in the eye. In this study, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and a mouse model of PDGF-D overexpression in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, we found that PDGF-D overexpression markedly upregulated the key immunoproteasome genes, leading to increased antigen processing/presentation capacity of RPE cells. Also, more than 6.5-fold ligand-receptor pairs were found in the PDGF-D overexpressing RPE-choroid tissues, suggesting markedly increased cell-cell interactions. Moreover, in the PDGF-D-overexpressing tissues, a unique cell population with a transcriptomic profile of both stromal cells and antigen-presenting RPE cells was detected, suggesting PDGF-D-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of RPE cells. Importantly, administration of ONX-0914, an immunoproteasome inhibitor, suppressed choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in a mouse CNV model
