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

Exosomes are nanosized vesicles that have been reported as cargo-delivering vehicles between cells. Müller cells play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Activated Müller cells in the diabetic retina mediate disruption of barrier integrity and neovascularization. Endothelial cells constitute the inner blood-retinal barrier (BRB). Herein, we aim to evaluate the effect of Müller cell-derived exosomes on endothelial cell viability and barrier function under normal and hyperglycemic conditions. Müller cell-derived exosomes were isolated and characterized using Western blotting, nanoparticle tracking, and electron microscopy. The uptake of Müller cells-derived exosomes by the human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs) was monitored by labeling exosomes with PKH67. Endothelial cell vitality after treatment by exosomes under normo- and hypoglycemic conditions was checked by MTT assay and Western blot for apoptotic proteins. The barrier function of HRECs was evaluated by analysis of ZO-1 and transcellular electrical resistance (TER) using ECIS. Additionally, intracellular Ca
