Photoreceptor degeneration: genetic and mechanistic dissection of a complex trait.
Review in Nature reviews. Genetics, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 380 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The retina provides exquisitely sensitive vision that relies on the integrity of a uniquely vulnerable cell, the photoreceptor (PR). The genetic and mechanistic causes of retinal degeneration due to PR cell death--which occurs in conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration--are being successfully dissected. Over one hundred loci, some containing common variants but most containing rare variants, are implicated in the genetic architecture of this complex trait. This genetic heterogeneity results in equally diverse disease mechanisms that affect almost every aspect of PR function but converge on a common cell death pathway. Although genetic and mechanistic diversity creates challenges for therapy, some approaches--particularly gene-replacement therapy--are showing considerable promise.
