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

backgroundAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex disease with a pathophysiology that remains incompletely understood. PCSK7 is closely related to the normal development of ocular tissues; however, the roles and mechanisms of PCSK7 in AMD have yet to be elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the specific manifestations of PCSK7 in AMD.

methodsAn AMD cell model was established by using hydrogen peroxide (H

resultsOverexpressing of PCSK7 enhanced the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of ARPE-19 cells treated with H

conclusionsPCSK7 might be one of the targets for the treatment of AMD through the regulation of retinal epithelial cell death.
