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

Age related macular degeneration and other retinal degenerative disorders are characterized by disruption of the outer blood retinal barrier (oBRB) with subsequent ischemia, neovascularization, and atrophy. Despite the treatment advances, there remains no curative therapy, and no treatment targeted at regenerating native-like tissue for patients with late stages of the disease. Here we present advances in tissue engineering, focusing on bioprinting methods of generating tissue allowing for safe and reliable production of oBRB as well as tissue reprogramming with induced pluripotent stem cells for transplantation. We compare these approaches to organ-on-a-chip models for studying the dynamic nature of physiologic conditions. Highlighted within this review are studies that employ good manufacturing practices and use clinical grade methods that minimize potential risk to patients. Lastly, we illustrate recent clinical applications demonstrating both safety and efficacy for direct patient use. These advances provide an avenue for drug discovery and ultimately transplantation.
