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

purposeTo describe fundus autofluorescence (AF) in carriers of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) associated with mutations in RPGR (RP3), and to compare the findings on AF with ophthalmoscopy and with electrophysiological and psychophysical data.

methodsEleven carriers from two families with XLRP and mutations in RPGR underwent clinical examination including fundus photography, AF, full-field electroretinography, Goldmann kinetic perimetry and two-colour threshold perimetry (2CT perimetry).

resultsAn abnormal AF pattern was found in 9 of 11 carriers, with a radial pattern in 6 of 11. In 2CT perimetry patchy rod and cone sensitivity losses were seen in 7 of 8 carriers. Rods tended to be more affected than cones. The areas of sensitivity loss showed some correspondence with the abnormalities seen on AF.

conclusionAF had a specific pattern in 9 of 11 carriers from two families with mutations in RPGR. The result was independent of the family investigated. The radial pattern may be explained by random X-inactivation early during embryogenesis subsequently preserved in all daughter cells and the centrifugal radial growth pattern of the developing neuroretina. AF may prove to be a rapid and easy clinical test to identify carriers of RP3.
