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

aimTo investigate the effect of β-alanine (BA) on laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) mice models.

methodsLaser-induced CNV mice models were established, and BA was administrated for one week and two weeks in advance, separately. Furthermore, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid flat mounts were separated, and immunohistochemical staining was performed. The laser-induced CNV lesion areas were measured and compared. In addition, liver and kidney morphologies were observed to identify potential hepatorenal toxicity.

resultsEnlarged CNV lesion areas were observed in the BA treated group. No significant differences were observed in the liver and kidney sections between groups.

conclusionBA treatment increase CNV lesion areas, suggesting the detrimental effects of BA as a nutritional supplement in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) population.
