Retinal Ganglion Cell Replacement in Glaucoma Therapy: A Narrative Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. It leads to the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the axons of which form the optic nerve. Enormous RGC apoptosis causes a lack of transfer of visual information to the brain. The RGC loss typical of the central nervous system is irreversible, and when glaucoma progresses, the total amount of RGCs in the retina enormously diminishes. The successful treatment in glaucoma patients is a direct neuroprotection by decreasing the intraocular pressure, which enables RGC protection but does not revive the lost ones. The intriguing new therapy for advanced glaucoma is the possibility of RGC replacement with new healthy cells. In this review article, the strategies regarding RGC replacement therapy are presented with the latest advances in the technique and the obstacles that it meets.
