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

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among elderly people worldwide. However, there are currently no effective treatments for AMD. Oxidative stress-induced retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degeneration and the inflammatory response are the main causes of AMD. In this study, a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated rhodium nanozyme (PEG-RhZ) with excellent reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) elimination capability was synthesized for the treatment of AMD. PEG-RhZs protected RPE cell viability and barrier function upon exposure to oxidative stress stimuli. Additionally, microglial migration and iNOS, IL-1β and TNF-α expression were inhibited by PEG-RhZs. In the acute phase of the AMD model, PEG-RhZs significantly alleviated RPE oxidative damage and inhibited microglial activation. In the late stage of the AMD model, PEG-RhZs reduced photoreceptor loss and improved vision impairment. Furthermore, PEG-RhZs showed good biocompatibility and stability both
