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

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an ischemic lesion of the anterior optic nerve (ON), currently untreatable due to the length of time from symptom onset until treatment. We evaluated angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)): the MAS1-receptor ligand, as a possible NAION treatment using the rodent NAION model (rNAION). Long-Evans rats were unilaterally rNAION-induced. One-day post-induction, lesion severity was quantified via optic nerve head (ONH) edema using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Animals meeting rNAION induction criteria were randomized into (1) Subcutaneous Ang-(1-7) infusion for 28 days and (2) Vehicle. Visual function was assessed using both visual acuity and flash visual evoked potentials (fVEP). Tissues were collected >30d and RGC neurons were quantified by stereology. ONs were histologically examined for inflammation. Ang-(1-7) improved post-rNAION visual function. Ang-(1-7)-treated animals showed improved visual acuity (ANCOVA:
