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

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with its pathogenesis incompletely understood. Inflammation, as an important aspect of glaucoma, has attracted increasing attention. In this study, we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the association between 91 circulating inflammatory proteins and glaucoma. First, a bidirectional MR was employed to screen for inflammatory proteins that potentially influence glaucoma risk, with the findings further confirmed by a replication sample MR. Then, a mediation analysis was employed to assess the mediating effects of glaucoma endophenotypes on glaucoma. Finally, we performed a subgroup MR to investigate the association between circulating proteins and glaucoma subtypes, including primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). The bidirectional MR suggested 7 out of the 91 proteins were possibly related with glaucoma risk, with T-cell surface glycoprotein CD5 (CD5) (odds ratio (OR) = 0.87; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.81-0.94; P = 2.46 × 10
