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

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) severely affects vision in individuals with diabetes. High glucose (HG) induces oxidative stress in retinal cells, a key contributor to DR development. Previous studies suggest that fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF-1) can mitigate hyperglycemia and protect tissues from HG-induced damage. However, the specific effects and mechanisms of FGF-1 on DR remain unclear. In our study, FGF-1-pretreated adult retinal pigment epithelial (ARPE)-19 cells were employed to investigate. Results indicate that FGF-1 significantly attenuated HG-induced oxidative stress, including reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, protein carbonyl content, and lipid peroxidation. FGF-1 also modulated the expression of oxidative and antioxidative enzymes. Mechanistic investigations showed that HG induced high endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and upregulated specific proteins associated with apoptosis. FGF-1 effectively alleviated ER stress, reduced apoptosis, and restored autophagy through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of the rapamycin signaling pathway. We observed that the changes induced by HG were dose-dependently reversed by FGF-1. Higher concentrations of FGF-1 (5 and 10 ng/mL) exhibited increased effectiveness in mitigating HG-induced damage, reaching statistical significance (
