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

Glaucoma is a group of progressive optic nerve disorders characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells, a thinner retinal nerve fibre layer and cupping of the optic disk. Apoptosis is a physiological cell death process regulated by genes and plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, ensuring the natural development and immune defence of organisms. Apoptosis has been associated with glaucoma and inhibiting apoptosis by activating phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase‑protein kinase B or other medicines can rescue pathological changes in glaucoma. Due to the complex crosstalk of apoptosis pathways, the pathophysiological mechanism of apoptosis in glaucoma needs to be fully elucidated. The present review aimed to discuss the mechanism of cell apoptosis in glaucoma, improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of glaucoma, summarize new directions for the treatment of glaucoma and lay the foundation for new treatment strategies for glaucoma.
