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

RAGE is a multiligand receptor for the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules and is expressed in Müller cells, vascular endothelial cells, nerve cells and RPE cells of the retina. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a multifactorial disease associated with retinal inflammation and vascular abnormalities and is the leading cause of vision loss or impairment in older or working-age adults worldwide. Therapies aimed at reducing the inflammatory response and unnecessary angiogenesis can help slow the progression of DR, which in turn can save patients' vision. To maximize the efficacy and minimize the side effects, treatments that target key players in the pathophysiological process of DR need to be developed. The interaction between RAGE and its ligands is involved in a variety of cytopathological alterations in the retina, including secretion of inflammatory factors, regulation of angiogenesis, oxidative stress, structural and functional changes, and neurodegeneration. In this review, we will summarize the pathologic pathways mediated by RAGE and its ligand interactions and discuss its role in the progression of diabetic retinopathy to explore potential therapeutic targets that are effective and safe for DR.
