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

The retina is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body and utilizes glucose to produce energy and intermediates required for daily renewal of photoreceptor cell outer segments. Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) facilitates glucose transport across outer blood retinal barrier (BRB) formed by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the inner BRB formed by the endothelium. We used conditional knockout mice to study the impact of reducing glucose transport across the RPE on photoreceptor and Müller glial cells. Transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under control of the Bestrophin1 ( Best1) promoter were bred with Glut1
