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

Adverse effects associated with prolonged corticosteroid therapy are strongly associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), which may progress to iatrogenic glaucoma and irreversible blindness if left untreated. Developing reliable animal models is essential for investigating corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension and evaluating potential therapeutic strategies. In this study, we established a simple and non-invasive rat model of corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension using topical application of Rinderon-A ointment. Longitudinal IOP measurements were performed weekly using a Tono-Pen in conscious rats throughout the 11-week experimental period. Rinderon-A treatment resulted in sustained bilateral IOP elevation, with an initial increase observed at week 1 (28.4 ± 1.5 mmHg) and a maximal mean IOP of 31.2 ± 0.7 mmHg at week 10. Rinderon-A-treated eyes exhibited a sustained ocular hypertensive response throughout the experimental period. Collectively, this model provides a reproducible platform for studying corticosteroid-associated ocular hypertension and may facilitate future investigations of therapeutic interventions.
