Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Cellular and Molecular Signaling Mechanisms.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive retinal disorder and a leading cause of irreversible blindness among elderly individuals, impacting millions of people globally. This review synthesizes the current understanding of the cellular and molecular signaling mechanisms driving AMD, with a focus on the distinct pathophysiological features of dry and wet AMD subtypes. Key mechanisms include oxidative stress, inflammation, lipid metabolism dysregulation, and immune dysregulation, all of which converge on the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a central player in disease initiation and progression. In dry AMD, oxidative damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lipofuscin accumulation impair RPE function, contributing to drusen formation and geographic atrophy. In wet AMD, vascular endothelial growth factor-mediated angiogenesis, coupled with inflammation and endothelial metabolic reprogramming, drives choroidal neovascularization. This article integrates findings from multiomics approaches and highlights the potential of artificial intelligence in elucidating AMD pathogenesis and advancing personalized therapies. Future research directions emphasize targeting these molecular pathways to develop innovative treatments, offering hope for improved management of this debilitating condition.
