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

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of central vision impairment among the elderly. Geographic atrophy is a defining characteristic of AMD, but the detailed mechanism for massive loss of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells is not fully understood. In this study, we found that Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1), a sensor for dsDNA, is able to induce RPE cell PANoptosis. Silencing ZBP1 efficiently alleviates RPE degeneration and AMD symptoms. Mechanistically, mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening stimulated by Ca
