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: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ocular emergency that results from acute blockage of the blood supply to the retina and leads to a sudden vision loss. Other forms of ischemic retinopathies include diabetic retinopathy (DR), which involves chronic retinal ischemia and remains the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults. This study is the first to conduct a proteomic analysis of aqueous humor (AH) from patients with CRAO with a comparative analysis using vitreous humor (VH) samples from patients with DR. Methods: AH samples were collected from 10 patients with CRAO undergoing paracentesis and 10 controls undergoing cataract surgery. VH samples were collected from 10 patients with DR and 10 non-diabetic controls undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Samples were analyzed using mass spectrometry. Results: Compared with controls, AH levels of 36 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in patients with CRAO. Qiagen Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed 11 proteins linked to ophthalmic diseases. Notably, enolase 2, a glycolysis enzyme isoform primarily expressed in neurons, was upregulated, suggesting neuronal injury and enzyme release. Additionally, clusterin, a protective glycoprotein, was downregulated. ELISA was conducted to confirm proteomics data. VH samples from patients with DR exhibited changes in a distinct set of proteins, including ones previously reported in the literature. Conclusions: The study provides novel insights into CRAO pathophysiology with multiple hits identified. Proteomic results differed between DR and CRAO studies, likely due to the different pathophysiology and disease duration. Translational Relevance: This is the first proteomic analysis of CRAO AH, with the potential to identify future therapeutic targets.
