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

Retinal models play a pivotal role in translational drug development, bridging preclinical research and therapeutic applications for both ocular and systemic diseases. This review highlights the retina as an ideal organ for studying advanced therapies, thanks to its immune privilege, vascular and neuronal networks, accessibility, and advanced imaging capabilities. Preclinical retinal disease models offer unparalleled insights into inflammation, angiogenesis, fibrosis, and hypoxia, utilizing clinically translatable bioimaging tools like fundoscopy, optical coherence tomography, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, optokinetic tracking, and electroretinography. These models have driven innovations in anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and neuroprotective strategies, with broader implications for systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's, and fibrosis-related conditions. By emphasizing the integration of the 3Rs principles and novel imaging modalities, this review highlights how retinal research not only enhances therapeutic precision but also minimizes ethical concerns, paving the way for more predictive and human-relevant approaches in drug development.
