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

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) modulate extracellular matrix remodeling for maintaining homeostasis and promoting cell migration and proliferation. Pathologic conditions can alter TIMP homeostasis and aggravate disease progression. The roles of TIMPs have been studied in tissue-related disorders; however, their contributions to tissue repair during corneal injury are undefined. Here, the TIMP expression in human corneal epithelial cells under homeostatic and inflammatory milieus was profiled to examine their contribution to the healing of injured corneal epithelia. Transcriptionally, TIMP2 was highly expressed in human corneal epithelial cells when stimulated with 100 ng/mL IL1B or scratch wounded. Unlike TIMP1, recombinant TIMP2 (rTIMP2) significantly promoted epithelial cell wound closure compared with untreated and TIMP2-neutralizing conditions. At 12 hours, the Ki-67
