Therapeutic Effects of Taurine and Histidine Supplementation in Retinal Diseases.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Amino acids are basic building blocks of structural proteins and enzymes. They also act as signaling molecules and as fuel. They are characterized as essential if sufficient quantities must be supplied exogenously or as non-essential if they can be endogenously synthesized. Appropriate intake of amino acids not only prevents the development of metabolic diseases but also can reduce the progression of some disease states. Amino acids are strongly associated with retinal metabolism in physiology and pathology. Nonetheless, there is a lack of robust clinical studies supporting the benefits of amino acid supplementation in retinopathy. In this review, we summarize preclinical evidence concerning the potential of supplementing the amino acids taurine and histidine to provide protection against diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. We suggest further directions for studying amino acid-based therapeutic interventions for eye diseases.
