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

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of progressive degenerative disorders of the retina with a strong genetic component. Here, we report the clinical and genetic findings in a Chinese family in which autosomal dominant RP (adRP) was inherited by 13 affected members in four generations. Using a genome-wide linkage screening approach, a novel disease locus (RP33) was assigned to the long arm of chromosome 2. A maximum multi-point LOD score of 4.69 was reached at marker D2S2222 in 2q11.2. Meiotic recombination events in affected members placed RP33 in a 15.5 cM region between D2S329 and D2S2229. From meiotic recombinations in two unaffected members RP33 was further refined to a 4.8 cM (9.5 Mb) interval flanked by D2S2159 and D2S1343 in chromosomal region 2cen-q12.1. No disease-associated mutations were detected in the candidate genes SEMA4C, CNGA3 or HNK1ST from within the region. MERTK, a known disease gene for autosomal recessive RP located close to RP33 was similarly excluded. Clinically, the family presented relatively late onset of night blindness, gradually decreased visual acuity, progressive loss of peripheral visual field and typical RP fundus changes in the mid-periphery of the retina. In conclusion, a novel locus for adRP has been assigned to chromosomal region 2cen-q12.1, which in the present kindred was associated with a relatively late onset form of the disease.
