Zeb1 Facilitates Nitrogen Mustard-Induced Corneal Epithelial Wound Healing by Maintaining Epithelial Renewability.
Article in Investigative ophthalmology & visual science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To characterize Zeb1 regulation of nitrogen mustard (NM)-induced acute corneal epithelial damage and its recovery in mice. Methods: This study utilized topical fluorescein staining and section immunohistochemistry to evaluate NM-induced acute corneal epithelial damage and its recovery in both Zeb1 wild-type and heterozygous knockout mice, as well as real-time quantitative PCR and chromatin immunoprecipitation to delineate the mechanism underlying Zeb1 regulation of such corneal epithelial damage and recovery. Results: Topical application of NM on the central cornea causes an immediate reduction of Zeb1 expression, followed by de-epithelization and epithelial cell death, along with cell proliferation resulting in epithelial recovery. Monoallelic knockout of Zeb1 decreased NM-induced acute epithelial damage but delayed the recovery from the damage. Conclusions: Zeb1 facilitates NM-induced corneal epithelial wound healing by maintaining epithelial renewability and thus is a potential therapeutic target to reduce acute mustard gas keratopathy in early ocular pathogenesis.
