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

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is a major cause of vision loss worldwide. Current standard of care is repetitive intraocular injections of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors, although responses may be partial and non-durable. We report that circulating sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) carried by apolipoprotein M (ApoM) acts through the endothelial S1P receptor 1 (S1PR1) to suppress choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in mouse laser-induced CNV, modeling nAMD. In humans, low plasma ApoM levels were associated with increased choroidal and retinal pathology. Additionally, endothelial S1pr1 knockout and overexpressing transgenic mice showed increased and reduced CNV lesion size, respectively. Systemic administration of ApoM-Fc, an engineered S1P chaperone protein, not only attenuated CNV to an equivalent degree as anti-VEGF antibody treatment but also suppressed pathological vascular leakage. We suggest that modulating circulating ApoM-bound S1P action on endothelial S1PR1 provides a novel therapeutic strategy to treat nAMD.
