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 evaluate peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in patients with autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy (CRD).

designCross-sectional study.

methodsEleven patients (22 eyes) with CRD were studied, including 4 patients with identified ABCA4 gene mutations. Peripapillary RNFL thickness was measured in 16 segments from 4 quadrants. The analyses were based on age and disc size-adjusted normative data. An abnormal thinning was considered when RNFL thickness measurements were less than the fifth percentile in at least 2 of 4 segments in a quadrant. Mean RNFL thickness was compared quantitatively with normative data obtained from 134 subjects.

resultsEight patients (73%) had peripapillary RNFL thinning in at least 1 quadrant of at least 1 eye, including 3 of 4 patients with known ABCA4 gene mutations. Peripapillary RNFL thinning in the temporal quadrant was seen most commonly in 11 (79%) of 14 eyes with thinning in at least 1 quadrant. Significant thinning of the overall peripapillary RNFL was observed in CRD patients compared with controls (P = .0002). Subgroup analysis showed that 8 (89%) of 9 patients who were older than 40 years had thinning in at least 1 quadrant of at least 1 eye.

conclusionsPeripapillary RNFL thinning was observed commonly in our patients with autosomal recessive CRD. The results confirm that the inner retinal structures can be affected in outer retinal disease. Careful evaluation of the inner retina may be important in determining the success rate of potential treatments for predominantly outer retinal diseases.
