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

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. There are numerous animal models available for developing new ocular therapeutics and drug screening and to investigate the pathological processes involved in DR. Among those animal models, the oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model, though originally developed as a model for retinopathy of prematurity, has also been used to investigate angiogenesis in proliferative DR with the phenomenon of ischemic avascular zones and pre-retinal neovascularization it demonstrated. Briefly, neonatal rodents are exposed to hyperoxia to induce vaso-obliteration. Upon removal from hyperoxia, hypoxia develops in the retina that eventually results in neovascularization. The OIR model is mostly used in small rodents such as mice and rats. Here, we describe a detailed experimental protocol of rat OIR model and the subsequent assessment of abnormal vasculature. By illustrating the vasculoprotective and anti-angiogenic activities of the treatment, OIR model might advance to a new platform for investigating novel ocular therapeutic strategies for DR.
