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

Objective: In this study, we investigated the cause of the AngII dose elevation in aqueous humor of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients. Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting were used to detect concentration of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) and Prolylcarboxypeptidase (PRCP). AngII and AngII + Recombinant PRCP were injected into anterior chamber of mouse eye. Mouse Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured every week, mouse eye sections were conducted Hematoxylin-and-Eosin (H&E) staining, Masson' staining and Immunofluorescence staining. Western blotting and Immunofluorescence staining assays to detected fibrosis of trabecular meshwork cells. Mass spectrometry was used to identify proteins of aqueous humor. Results: PRCP dose are decreased in aqueous humor of POAG patients. There is a negative correlation between PRCP and AngII levels in aqueous humor and between PRCP levels and the IOP. PRCP treatment reverses fibrosis of trabecular meshwork (TM) and prevents IOP elevation induced by AngII. Exogenous PRCP rescues fibrosis induced by AngII in HTMCs. Proteome profiling detected 502 differentially expressed proteins. Conclusion: Our study found PRCP dose was decreased in POAG patients' aqueous humor, and it might cause high level of AngII. Restoration of PRCP rescued fibrosis of TM cells and ameliorated IOP in AngII treatment mouse.
