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

Elevated oxidative stress (OS) is a primary driver of ocular neurodegeneration, worsening with age-related declines in gonadal hormones. While the loss of endogenous 17β-estradiol (E2) is a recognized risk factor for retinal degeneration in females, the impact of testosterone depletion in males remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we employed mass spectrometry-based proteomics and bioinformatic pipelines to characterize retinal protein shifts triggered by orchiectomy (ORX) in the Brown Norway rat. Proteins from ORX and intact retinas were analyzed via a discovery-driven approach using nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with data-independent acquisition.
