Does serum Gas6 level change in active uveitis?

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.
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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate serum Growth Arrest-Specific Protein 6 (Gas6) levels in the active and inactive periods of uveitis. Material and methods: In this study, serum Gas6 levels were evaluated in 21 patients during active and inactive periods. After measuring serum Gas6 levels in the active phase, the serum Gas6 test was repeated in the inactive period. Commercial Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kits (Gas6, WKEA Med Supplies Corporation, NY, USA) were used to measure Gas6 levels. Plasma concentrations were analyzed with an ELISA reader at 450 nm following the manufacturer's instructions. Results: In the study, the mean age of 21 patients was 33 (7-62) years. The mean follow-up period was 30.05 ± 18.76 months. While the average Gas6 value measured during active uveitis attacks was 1.02 ± 0.39 ng/mL (range: 0.54-2.12), the Gas6 value during the passive period was 0.71 ± 0.23 ng/mL (range: 0.39-1.17). The Gas6 level during active uveitis attacks was significantly higher than during the passive period ( Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest a notable elevation in serum Gas6 levels across all cases of active uveitis, irrespective of the underlying etiology, whether infectious or noninfectious. To successfully integrate serum Gas6 levels into the diagnostic and follow-up protocols for active uveitis, additional comprehensive investigations are imperative.
