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 detect the underlying genetic defect in a Chinese family affected with bilateral congenital cataracts.

methodsA detailed family history and clinical data were recorded. Mutation screening was performed in the nuclear cataract-related gene by bidirectional sequencing of the amplified products. The mutation was verified by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC).

resultsTwo cataract phenotypes were observed within this family: one eye exhibited Y-suture and nuclear pulverulent opacification of the lens, while the others exhibited complete opacification in the fetal nuclear region. Sequencing of the candidate genes detected a heterozygous c.319G>A change in the coding region of the major intrinsic protein (MIP), resulting in the substitution of a highly conserved Valine by Isoleucine (p.V107I).The mutation was confirmed by DHPLC.

conclusionsThis study has identified a novel MIP mutation, p.V107I in a Chinese family with congenital cataracts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of cataracts caused by a mutation in the second extracellular loop domain of MIP.
