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.
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 understand the molecular connectivity between the intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma which will provide possible clues for biomarker candidates.
methodsThe current study uncovers the important genes connecting IOP with the core functional modules of glaucoma. An integrated analysis was performed using glaucoma and IOP microarray datasets to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in both conditions. To the selected DEGs, the protein interaction network was constructed and dissected to determine the core functional clusters of glaucoma. For the clusters, the connectivity of IOP DEGs was determined. Further, enrichment analyses were performed to assess the functional annotation and potential pathways of the crucial clusters.
resultsThe gene expression analysis of glaucoma and IOP with normal control showed that 408 DEGs (277 glaucoma and 131 IOP genes) were discovered from two GEO datasets. The 290 DEGs of glaucoma were extended to form a network containing 1495 proteins with 9462 edges. Using ClusterONE, the network was dissected to have 12 clusters. Among them, three clusters were linked with three IOP DEGs [N-Myc and STAT Interactor (NMI), POLR3G (RNA Polymerase III Subunit G), and APAF1-interacting protein (APIP)]. In the clusters, ontology analysis revealed that RNA processing and transport, p53 class mediators resulting in cell cycle arrest, cellular response to cytokine stimulus, regulation of phosphorylation, regulation of type I interferon production, DNA deamination, and cellular response to hypoxia were significantly enriched to be implicated in the development of glaucoma. Finally, NMI, POLR3G, and APIP may have roles that were noticed altered in glaucoma and IOP conditions.
conclusionOur findings could help to discover new potential biomarkers, elucidate the underlying pathophysiology, and identify new therapeutic targets for glaucoma.
