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

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the output neurons of the retina, responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain. In the mature mouse retina, over 40 RGC types have been identified based on genomic, morphological, and functional characteristics. RGC degeneration is a hallmark of various debilitating retinal diseases, including glaucoma and traumatic optic neuropathy. Gaining deeper insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying RGC degeneration, survival, and resilience across different disease conditions is crucial for developing effective therapeutic interventions. To investigate RGC degeneration, we adopted a simple yet powerful technique previously used extensively in retinal development studies for RGC morphologies and central projection. Here, we apply this method to assess the anatomical phenotypes of RGCs under NMDA-induced excitotoxicity. This approach enables the visualization of large numbers of degenerating RGCs over time, allowing us to map the sequence of degenerative events, identify hallmark phenotypes of dying RGCs, and distinguish RGCs that are resistant to NMDA-induced damage.
