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

backgroundPathological myopia (PM) is closely associated with blinding ocular morbidities. Identifying biomarkers can provide clues on pathogeneses. This study aimed to identify metabolic biomarkers and underlying mechanisms in the vitreous humour (VH) of PM patients with complications.

methodsVH samples were collected from 39 PM patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) (n = 23) or macular hole (MH)/myopic retinoschisis (MRS) (n = 16) and 23 controls (MH with axial length < 26 mm) who underwent surgical treatment. VH metabolomic profiles were investigated using ultra-performance liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was computed to identify potential biomarkers for PM diagnosis.

resultsBioinformatics analysis identified nineteen and four metabolites altered in positive and negative modes, respectively, and these metabolites were involved in tryptophan metabolism. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that seventeen metabolites (AUC > 0.6) in the positive mode and uric acid in the negative mode represent potential biomarkers for PM with complications (AUC = 0.894). Pairwise and pathway analyses among the RRD-PM, MH/MRS-PM and control groups showed that tryptophan metabolism and uric acid were closely correlated with PM. Altered metabolites and pathways in our study were characterized by increased oxidative stress and altered energy metabolism. These results contribute to a better understanding of myopia progression with or without related complications.

conclusionsOur study provides metabolomic signatures and related immunopathological features in the VH of PM patients, revealing new insight into the prevention and treatment of PM and related complications.
