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

Persistent corneal epithelial defect is a condition in which the corneal epithelium fails to heal properly after injury, resulting in vision loss. Previous studies demonstrate that the deubiquitinase, ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10), is a key regulator of wound healing and scarring in the cornea. Here, a highly modified in vivo self-delivering siRNA (sdRNA) targeting USP10 in a mouse model of persistent corneal epithelial defect was used. In this model, the corneal epithelium is scraped from the basement membrane and, although the wound initially closes, the epithelium re-opens at day 28, thereby modeling a persistent corneal defect. These studies revealed that one dose of USP10-targeting sdRNA after wounding prevented re-opening of the wound at day 28. Optical coherence tomography images, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and immunohistochemistry demonstrated improved corneal morphology and normal epithelial stratification of the regrown epithelium, with re-establishment of hemidesmosomes and reduced scarring and inflammation (CD45
