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.
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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine what proteins are present in the ciliary body (CB). To accomplish this, we conducted a proteomic analysis of the CB of cynomolgus monkeys. We also determined the location of the proteins in CB by immunohistology. Methods: The eyes of euthanized cynomolgus monkeys were enucleated, and the CB, were isolated from the eyes. Proteins were extracted from the CB and determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Separated CB epithelial cells were cultured, and the proteins expressed in the CB were determined by Western blotting. The location of these proteins in the CB was determined by immunohistochemical staining. We also investigated whether adding dexamethasone to the culture medium changed protein expression by the epithelial cells. Results: Proteomic analysis of the CBs showed that 813 proteins were expressed in the epithelium and stroma. These proteins included the small guanosine triphosphate-binding protein Rab8 and the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) family. Tissue and immunohistological staining confirmed the colocalization of these proteins in non-pigmented CB epithelium. Western blotting of cultured CB epithelial cell lysates showed a tendency that adding dexamethasone changed Rab8 protein expression levels. Conclusions: Proteomic analysis of CBs identified several proteins involved in the transport and secretion of proteins. These proteins may be involved in the production of aqueous humor and protein secretion by the CB.
