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

Retinal degenerative diseases, due to the lack of regeneration systems and self-renewable cells, often lead to visual impairment. Pax6 is a pleiotropic transcription factor and its expression level determines self-renewal status or differentiation of retinal cells. Here, we investigated the fate of simultaneous induction of retinal ganglion cell death and Pax6 overexpression in retro-differentiation of retinal cells and their commitment to re-enter into the cell cycle. Induction of acute retinal ganglion cell death and generation of mouse experimental model was performed by N-methyl D-aspartic acid (NMDA) injection. Recombinant AAV2 virus harboring PAX6 cDNA and reporter gene was injected into untreated and model mouse eyes. Histological analyses, including IHC and retinal flatmounts immunostaining were performed. The number of Ki67+ cells was clearly increased in model mice, presumably due to NMDA treatment and regardless of Pax6 over-expression. Unlike previous studies, Ki67+ cells were found in GCL layer and interestingly ONL cells expressed Sox2 stemness marker after NMDA cytotoxicity. The potential of retinal cells for robust Ki67 expression, after injury, and expression of Sox2, confirmed their intrinsic plasticity and made a vivid prospect for retinal regenerative medicine.
