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

purposeThe purpose of this project was to determine if mutations, including large insertions or deletions, in the recently identified RP31 gene topoisomerase I-binding arginine-serine rich (RS) protein (TOPORS), cause an appreciable fraction of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP).

methodsAn adRP cohort of 215 families was used to determine the frequency of TOPORS mutations. We looked for mutations in TOPORS by testing 89 probands from the cohort without mutations in other known adRP genes. Mutation detection was performed by fluorescent capillary sequencing and by multiplex ligation probe amplification.

resultsTwo different TOPORS mutations, p.Glu808X and p.Arg857GlyfsX9, were each identified in one proband. Patients with these mutations exhibited clinical signs typical of advanced adRP. No large deletions or insertions of TOPORS were identified in our study.

conclusionsPoint mutations and small insertions or deletions in TOPORS cause approximately 1% of adRP. Large deletions or insertions of TOPORS are not an appreciable cause of adRP. Contrary to previous reports, no distinct clinical phenotype was seen in these patients.
