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

Purpose: Microgravity-induced headward fluid shifts are one of the mechanisms implicated in spaceflight-associated eye conditions, including intraocular pressure (IOP) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness changes. In this longitudinal study, we investigated IOP and RNFL thickness changes over time in a mouse model of microgravity-induced headward fluid shifts. Methods: The study involved 20 adult male B6(Cg)- Results: IOP was significantly elevated in both eyes of the HU mice on day 14 compared to baseline. The splined analysis revealed a bilateral positive rate of IOP change up to day 14, followed by a negative rate of change thereafter. In contrast, control mice displayed no significant differences in IOP at any timepoint. RNFL thicknesses of right eye peripapillary and peripheral rings were reduced after 1 week and 2 weeks, respectively. In contrast, left eye RNFL thickness measurements did not show any significant change compared to baseline. Conclusion: The HU mouse model displays a distinct ocular phenotype that may be useful for understanding IOP and RNFL changes in microgravity and their relevance to Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome.
