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

backgroundNeuritin, a small-molecule neurotrophic factor, maintains neuronal cell activity, inhibits apoptosis, promotes process growth, and regulates neural progenitor cell differentiation, migration, and synaptic maturation. Neuritin helps retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) survive optic nerve injury in rats and regenerate axons. However, the role of Neuritin in Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is unclear.

objectiveThis study is intended to investigate the effect and mechanism of Neuritin in DR. For this purpose, we established DR rat models and injected Neuritin into them. This study provides a potential treatment for diabetic retinopathy.

methodsThe rat model of DR was established by streptozotocin (STZ) injection, and the effect of Neuritin on DR was detected by intravitreal injection. Histological analysis was performed by H&E and TUNEL methods. The mRNA and protein expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) pathway-related transcription factors were detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. The blood-retinal barrier (BRB) function was assessed using the patch-clamp technique and Evans blue leakage assay.

resultsNeuritin significantly improved the retinal structure, restrained the apoptosis of retinal cells, and protected the normal function of BRB in DR model rats. Mechanistically, Neuritin may function by inhibiting the expression of GRP78, ASK1, Caspase-12, VEGF, and so on.

conclusionOur results indicate that Neuritin alleviates retinal damage in DR rats via the inactive endoplasmic reticulum pathway. Our study provides a potential treatment for DR.
