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.

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.

Abstract

The intraepithelial sub-basal nerve plexus of the cornea is characterized by a central swirl of nerve processes that terminate between the apical cells of the epithelium. This plexus is a critical component of maintaining homeostatic function of the ocular surface. The cornea contains a high concentration of collagen, which is susceptible to damage in conditions such as neuropathic pain, neurotrophic keratitis, and dry eye disease. Here we tested whether topical application of a collagen mimetic peptide (CMP) is efficacious in repairing the corneal sub-basal nerve plexus in a mouse model of ocular surface desiccation. We induced corneal tear film reduction, epithelial damage, and nerve bed degradation through a combination of environmental and pharmaceutical (atropine) desiccation. Mice were subjected to desiccating air flow and bilateral topical application of 1% atropine solution (4× daily) for 2 weeks. During the latter half of this exposure, mice received topical vehicle [phosphate buffered saline (PBS)] or CMP [200 μm (Pro-Pro-Gly)
