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 effects of each subtype-selective peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonist (α, β/δ, γ) on corneal epithelial wound healing were investigated using a rat corneal alkali burn model. After the alkali burn, each PPAR agonist or vehicle ophthalmic solution was instilled topically onto the rat's cornea. Corneal epithelial healing processes were evaluated by fluorescein staining. Pathological analyses and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions were performed to evaluate Ki67 (proliferative maker) expression and inflammatory findings. The area of the corneal epithelial defect at 12 h and 24 h after the alkali burn was significantly smaller in each PPAR group than in the vehicle group. Ki67 mRNA expression was increased in the PPARβ/δ group, whereas mRNA expressions of inflammatory cytokines were suppressed in all of the PPAR agonist groups. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) was the most suppressed in the PPARγ group. The accelerated corneal epithelial healing effects of each PPAR ligand were thought to be related to the promotion of proliferative capacity and inhibition of inflammation.
