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 a leading cause of irreversible central vision loss. Its pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, inflammation, oxidative stress, and environmental influences, which underscores the need to better understand biomarkers associated with the disease. This review provides a comprehensive translational overview of biomarkers linked to both dry and wet forms of AMD by integrating findings from human studies and preclinical mouse models, including chemical, genetic, and laser-induced paradigms. It outlines key tissue, fluid, and systemic biomarkers related to oxidative stress, inflammation, complement activation, extracellular matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, and gut microbiota alterations. The main findings highlight similarities and differences between human AMD and animal models, identify challenges in biomarker validation, and emphasize the potential of combining biomarker profiles from ocular tissues, blood, tear fluid, aqueous and vitreous humor, and gut microbiome samples to improve early diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring, and personalized treatment strategies. These insights suggest that integrating experimental and clinical biomarker data could advance precision medicine in AMD, facilitating better early detection and individualized therapies. Future research should aim to bridge these datasets to optimize biomarker-driven approaches for AMD management.
