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

purposeTumor necrosis factor (TNF)-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6) is upregulated in various pathophysiological contexts, where it has a diverse repertoire of immunoregulatory functions. Herein, we investigated the expression and function of TSG-6 during corneal homeostasis and after injury.

methodsHuman corneas, eyeballs from BALB/c (TSG-6

resultsTSG-6 is endogenously expressed in the human and mouse cornea and established corneal epithelial cell lines and is upregulated after injury. A loss of TSG-6 has no structural and functional effect in the cornea during homeostasis. No differences were noted in the rate of corneal epithelial wound closure between BALB/c, TSG-6

conclusionTSG-6 is endogenously expressed in the cornea and upregulated after injury where it propagates the inflammatory response following chemical injury.
