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

Mitochondrial A3243G point mutations cause variable pathologic changes in different organs. Funduscopy revealed sharply demarcated central areas of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) which corresponded to the visual field defects. Fundus autofluorescence was reduced in the areas of RPE atrophy but showed granular hyperfluorescence of the adjacent RPE. Heteroplasmic mitochondrial mutations may cause variable changes in different organ systems. However, the ocular phenotype in the described pair of twins was almost identical. Fundus autofluorescence showed little progression of the RPE atrophy.
