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 localize the disease interval for autosomal recessive congenital cataracts in a consanguineous Pakistani family.

methodsAll affected individuals underwent detailed ophthalmologic examination. Blood samples were collected and genomic DNA was extracted. A genome-wide scan was performed with fluorescently-labeled microsatellite markers on genomic DNA from affected and unaffected family members and logarithm of odds (LOD) scores were calculated.

resultsClinical records and ophthalmological examinations suggested that affected individuals have bilateral congenital cataracts. Genome-wide linkage analysis localized the critical interval to chromosome 3q with a maximum LOD score of 3.87 at θ=0; with marker D3S3609. Haplotype analyses refined the critical interval to a 23.39 cM (18.01 Mb) interval on chromosome 3q, flanked by D3S1614 proximally and D3S1262, distally.

conclusionsHere, we report a new locus for autosomal recessive congenital cataract localized to chromosome 3q in a consanguineous Pakistani family.
