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

Within the last decade the role of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) has been a significant part of ophthalmic research, including both ocular physiology and the development of eye pathologies. It is known that this widespread cell-signaling system is involved in retinal neurobiological processes, including visual signal processing, as well as neurotransmission. Furthermore, various research indicated the involvement of ECS in the molecular basis of various pathologies, mostly glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Therefore, the researchers believe that this biological system, its receptors, pathways, and ligands might be considered as an auxiliary compound to reduce the number of patients suffering from ophthalmic diseases. Despite presented in the literature effects of the endocannabinoid system in the eye, none of the current ECS reviews presented a comprehensive description of the endocannabinoid system, its compounds, and, subsequently ophthalmic disorders. Thus, the aim of this review was to summarize all the major data, including the most up-to-date research, concerning a correlation between the endocannabinoid system and the major ophthalmic pathologies.
