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

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a microvascular disease, also involves retinal neurodegeneration. Müller cells exert an important role in the retina, and their destabilization and reduction affect the physiological function of the retina. To investigate the effect and mechanism of hedgehog acyltransferase-like (Hhatl) on Müller cells in DR. Methods: The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in Müller cells of DR rats were first analyzed by single-cell transcriptomics techniques (scRNA-seq). Regulating Hhatl expression, cell viability was detected using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay; apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase nick-end labeling (TUNEL); the expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl2), Bcl2-associated X protein (Bax), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) was assessed by immunofluorescence; and Ca Results: scRNA-seq analysis revealed that Hhatl was low-expressed in Müller cells of DR rats. In vitro assays confirmed that upregulation of Hhatl could increase rMC-1 Bcl2 expression, decrease Bax expression, and reduce apoptosis in HG environments. In addition, Hhatl did downregulate ATF6 expression, decrease CHOP and GRP78 levels, and reduce Ca Conclusion: Hhatl reduces apoptosis of Müller cells in DR by alleviating ATF6-related ERS signaling.
