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

Ocular manifestations in inborn errors of metabolism occur in many diseases and may be associated with any part of all eye components. In a minority of diseases it is possible to attribute the eye symptoms to a single hereditary pathogenetic mechanism. More often the aetiological relationship of the ocular defects to the metabolic disease is unknown. Diverse pathogenetic mechanisms may act via a common pathological pathway inducing ocular damage. The occurrence of eye abnormalities in metabolic disorders suggests that they are associated with direct toxic actions, errors of synthetic pathways or deficient energy metabolism. In this review, metabolic disorders with major abnormalities in the cornea, lens, retina and optic nerve are presented. In all cases, an appropriate combined approach by the ophthalmologist, paediatrician/neurologist, geneticist and clinical biochemist is the only way to diagnostic success.
