Complement activation, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial injury: Converging pathways in age-related macular degeneration.
Review in Redox biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is the primary site of injury in non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration or dry AMD. Polymorphisms in genes that regulate complement activation and cholesterol metabolism are strongly associated with AMD, but the biology underlying disease-associated variants is not well understood. Here, we highlight recent studies that have used molecular, biochemical, and live-cell imaging methods to elucidate mechanisms by which aging-associated insults conspire with AMD genetic risk variants to tip the balance towards disease. We discuss how critical functions including lipid metabolism, autophagy, complement regulation, and mitochondrial dynamics are compromised in the RPE, and how a deeper understanding of these mechanisms has helped identify promising therapeutic targets to preserve RPE homeostasis in AMD.
