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

A variety of techniques exist to investigate retinal and choroidal vascular changes in experimental mouse models of human ocular diseases. While all have specific advantages, a method for evaluating the choroidal vasculature in pigmented mouse eyes has been more challenging especially for whole mount visualization and morphometric analysis. Here we report a simple, reliable technique involving bleaching pigment prior to immunostaining the vasculature in whole mounts of pigmented mouse choroids. Eyes from healthy adult pigmented C57BL/6J mice were used to establish the methodology. The retina and anterior segment were separated from the choroid. The choroid with retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) and sclera was soaked in 1% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to remove the RPE. Tissues were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Choroids were subjected to melanin bleaching with 10% hydrogen peroxide (H
