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

This study aims to evaluate aqueous humor (AH) and serum metabolite concentrations in myopic and control adults undergoing cataract surgery and to correlate them with axial length (AL) to gain a better insight into the pathogenesis at both the local and systemic levels. Ninety-three patients were assigned to the myopic (n = 52) and control (n = 41) groups. Venous blood and aqueous humor samples were collected and analyzed by means of targeted metabolomics based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The univariate analysis has revealed distinct metabolomic profiles between the myopic and control groups in AH but not in serum. In the AH of myopic patients, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and taurine concentrations were significantly lower. SDMA and taurine levels in the AH correlated negatively with the AL. These findings account for the insight into the local metabolic alterations in the case of myopia, potentially leading to novel therapeutic targets.
