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

Cyclic GMP is essential for the ability of rods and cones to respond to the light stimuli. Light triggers hydrolysis of cGMP and stops the influx of sodium and calcium through the cGMP-gated ion channels. The consequence of this event is 2-fold: first, the decrease in the inward sodium current plays the major role in an abrupt hyperpolarization of the cellular membrane; secondly, the decrease in the Ca2+ influx diminishes the free intracellular Ca2+ concentration. While the former constitutes the essence of the phototransduction pathway in rods and cones, the latter gives rise to a potent feedback mechanism that accelerates photoreceptor recovery and adaptation to background light. One of the most important events by which Ca2+ feedback controls recovery and light adaptation is synthesis of cGMP by guanylyl cyclase. Two isozymes of membrane photoreceptor guanylyl cyclase (retGC) have been identified in rods and cones that are regulated by Ca2+-binding proteins, GCAPs. At low intracellular concentrations of Ca2+ typical for light-adapted rods and cones GCAPs activate RetGC, but concentrations above 500 nM typical for dark-adapted photoreceptors turn them into inhibitors of retGC. A variety of mutations found in GCAP and retGC genes have been linked to several forms of human congenital retinal diseases, such as dominant cone degeneration, cone-rod dystrophy and Leber congenital amaurosis.
