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

backgroundDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the major eye diseases contributing to blindness worldwide. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in retinal cells is a key factor leading to retinal inflammation and vascular leakage in DR, but its mechanism is still unclear.

aimTo investigate the potential mechanism of LEF1 and related RNAs in DR.

methodsARPE-19 cells were exposed to high levels of glucose for 24 hours to simulate a diabetic environment. Intraperitoneally injected streptozotocin was used to induce the rat model of DR. The expression levels of genes and related proteins were measured by RT-qPCR and Western blotting;
