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

Oxidative stress (OS) plays an important role in trabecular meshwork (TM) dysfunction in glaucoma, but its molecular mechanism remains unclear. We integrated the GSE27276 dataset and OS-related gene sets from GeneCards to screen 61 differentially expressed OS-related genes (DEOSGs). Functional enrichment analysis revealed that these genes are primarily involved in inflammatory and OS-related signaling pathways, including IL-17, TNF, and NF-κB. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network constructed via the STRING database identified seven hub genes (CCL3, CXCL1, NFKBIA, VCAM1, LCN2, TNFRSF1A, and HP). Validation using the GSE124114, GSE37474, and GSE65240 datasets showed that the expression of CXCL1 and VCAM1 was downregulated, while NFKBIA was upregulated. Additionally, all three genes exhibited an area under the curve (AUC) greater than 0.7. Immune infiltration analysis demonstrated significant associations between these genes and immune cells, particularly regulatory T cells and neutrophils. Regulatory network analysis suggested that transcription factors (RELA, NFKB1) and microRNAs (hsa-miR-34a-5p) may modulate these core genes. Drug-gene interaction studies identified 35 potential therapeutic agents, including Infliximab and Vitamin B6. This study systematically elucidates the molecular mechanisms of OS in glaucoma, proposing that the identified core genes and their regulatory networks not only serve as novel biomarkers for diagnosis but also provide a theoretical foundation for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
