Top2b-Regulated Genes and Pathways Linked to Retinal Homeostasis and Degeneration.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Retinal homeostasis and degeneration are significant contributors to global vision loss, with retinal health primarily assessed by the count and function of photoreceptor cells, the most abundant cells in the retina. Genomic studies have identified topoisomerase II beta (Top2b), an enzyme that untangles DNA supercoils to facilitate gene expression, as a critical transcriptional regulator for retinal health. This review aims to uncover and categorize genes linked to Top2b that are dynamically expressed during retinal degeneration, revealing shared and overlooked regulatory pathways. RNA sequencing data from wild-type and Top2b knockout mice revealed thousands of differentially expressed genes regulated by Top2b. By cross-referencing these genes with retinal degeneration datasets, including RetNet and the Gene Ontology Browser, we identified 44 Top2b-linked genes associated with retinal degeneration. These genes were grouped into fourteen functional categories: ciliary function and trafficking, metabolism, synaptic transmission, transcription factors and regulation, visual cycle, retinoids, and more. Key genes such as Bbs7, Ubb, Rbp4, Cetn2, Pik3r1, and Crx were explored, and their critical pathways for retinal health were outlined. This comprehensive catalog of 44 Top2b-linked retinal homeostatic genes will serve as a valuable resource for researchers. It provides new insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying retinal homeostasis, setting the framework for the development of targeted therapeutic approaches and early intervention strategies for preventing photoreceptor loss.
