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 diseases affect the health of millions of people worldwide and activated P2X7 receptors (P2X7Rs) are associated with the pathophysiology of a variety of retina-related diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Increasing evidence indicated that P2X7R is over-activated in retinopathy and is involved in the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy. Purine vasotoxicity caused by over-activation of P2X7R can lead to decreased retinal blood flow and vascular dysfunction and activation of P2X7R can lead to the production of a large number of inflammatory factors, causing local inflammatory cells to infiltrate and form a vascular microenvironment, thus constituting the pathophysiological basis for the occurrence and development of retinopathy. A variety of P2X7R antagonists have been studied in clinical trials as potential treatments for retinal diseases. However, currently no P2X7R antagonists has been approved for retina diseases. In this review, we mainly focus on recent progress on the involvement of P2X7R in retinal diseases and its therapeutic potential in the future.
