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

Purpose: Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF antibodies remains the primary therapy for exudative age-related macular degeneration (exAMD), although its efficacy is limited. Previous research has demonstrated that both a loss-of-function mutation of srr and the intravenous injection of a serine racemase inhibitor, L-aspartic acid β-hydroxamate (L-ABH), significantly inhibit laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in mice. Given that L-ABH is a small molecule, this study investigated the effects of L-ABH administered via eye drops on CNV, aiming to develop a noninvasive treatment strategy for exAMD. Methods: CNV models in mice and rhesus macaques were established through laser photocoagulation. Seven monkeys were randomly assigned to receive either saline solution or L-ABH eye drops. Intraperitoneal or intravenous injection of fluorescein characterized CNV in both mice and monkeys. Fluorescein fundus angiography was used to assess leakage, whereas optical coherence tomography measured retinal thickness in the monkeys. Results: L-ABH eye drops significantly reduced fluorescein leakage in laser-injured mice (P < 0.001 compared to saline). In laser-injured rhesus macaques, the average percent changes in leakage areas treated with L-ABH were 2.5% ± 25.8% (P = 0.004) and 1.5% ± 75.7% (P = 0.023 compared to saline solution) on day 14 and day 28, respectively. However, L-ABH eye drops did not significantly affect the number of grade IV laser spots or retinal thickness, whereas bevacizumab did. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the potential efficacy of an SRR inhibitor in two animal models of laser-induced CNV. Translational Relevance: This represents the first investigation into the effects of topical delivery of an SRR inhibitor on CNV.
