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

Purpose: Glaucoma is a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and optic nerve fibers. Mitochondrial dynamics contribute to the maintenance of neuronal homeostasis, and abnormalities can lead to the development of glaucoma. SS31 is a mitochondria-targeting short peptide that has been found to protect mitochondrial function and thereby protect damaged retina-associated cells. The aim of this study is to investigate whether SS31 protects damaged retinal cells by activating the AMPK/DRP1 pathway. Methods: The relationship between SS31 and oxidative stress was determined by live-cell imaging. The cells were inoculated in the well plate and treated with H Results: SS31 inhibited H Conclusions: SS31 regulates mitochondrial dynamic network remodeling by activating AMPK/DRP1 signaling pathway and protects retinal-related cells.
