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: To investigate the potential protective effects of fluvoxamine (FVX), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with known anti-inflammatory properties, on corneal, limbal, and retinal tissues in a rat model of endotoxin-induced uveitis (EIU), clinical and histopathologic evaluations were performed. Methods: Twenty-eight female Wistar Albino rats were divided into four groups: controls, EIU, EIU + FVX, and FVX (n = 7 per group). EIU was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). FVX or normal saline (NS) was administered 30 min before LPS or NS injection. Clinical ocular inflammation was assessed using slit-lamp biomicroscopy 6 h postinjection. Following euthanasia, enucleated eyes were processed for histopathologic analysis of corneal, limbal, and retinal tissues. Results: Total corneal and epithelial thickness were measured, while limbal and retinal lesions were semiquantitatively graded. The EIU group exhibited significantly increased clinical ocular inflammation scores compared to the control, EIU + FVX, and FVX groups ( Conclusions: FVX significantly reduced clinical signs of ocular inflammation and mitigated histopathologic damage in the cornea, limbus, and retina.
