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

In this study the retinal transcriptome was investigated during the development of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in mice. EAU was induced by immunizing B10.RIII mice with human interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (hIRBP) 161-180 peptide. Genome-wide transcriptional profiles of EAU (day 7, 14 or 21 after immunization) and of control retinas were generated using DNA-microarrays and bioinformatic data mining. Microglia-associated transcripts were identified. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to validate the expression of differentially expressed genes. Retinal transcript validation revealed that complement and interferon-related pathways, as well as gene clusters specific for antigen-processing and -presentation, and immunosuppression are involved during the course of the disease. Immunofluorescence analysis confirm that upregulated transcripts in EAU are also expressed by retinal microglia. Furthermore, the heterogenous expression patterns observed in retinal microglia, suggests the presence of different subpopulations of retinal microglia in EAU. This study expands our knowledge of the local immune processes involved in EAU pathology.
