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 identify a mutation in the PRPF31 gene in a family (Family K) with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) linked to 19q13.4 (RP11) and to find the frequency of mutations in the PRPF31 gene among Japanese families with adRP.

methodsGenomic DNA specimens were prepared from five symptomatic and two asymptomatic members of Family K and an additional 39 patients of 39 unrelated families with adRP. Coding regions of the PRPF31 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The amplicons were analyzed by a direct sequencing method.

resultsAll seven family members had a heterozygous c.1142delG mutation in the PRPF31 gene, which was identical to the mutation previously reported in a different Japanese family. No other mutation was found in the PRPF31 gene among the 39 additional patients with adRP.

conclusionAlthough the frequency of mutations in the PRPF31 gene is about 2.5% in Japanese families with adRP, it is possible that c.1142delG is a common mutation among Japanese patients with adRP associated with mutations in the PRPF31 gene.
