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

Dysfunction of ocular blood flow (BF) is believed to be one of the causes of glaucomatous pathology. However, whether this dysfunction is indeed a cause or is actually a consequence of optic nerve degeneration remains controversial. Here, we established a new animal model of chronic BF reduction in the retina to mimic glaucoma. We found that retinal BF in rats, as measured with laser speckle flowgraphy, was significantly reduced 3 wk after an intravitreal injection of AAV2-human endothelin-1 (AAV2-hEDN1). The number of retinal ganglion cells was also reduced in rats that received AAV2-hEDN1 injection. Immunostaining signals for GFAP and the endothelin-B receptor were enhanced in the rat retinas after AAV2-hEDN1 injection. Moreover, mRNA levels of
