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 identify mutations in the paired box 6 (PAX6) gene of 33 probands with aniridia and to reveal the mutational spectrum in the Chinese population.

methodsUnrelated probands with aniridia from 27 newly selected families and six previously analyzed families participated in this study. The coding regions of PAX6 in the 27 new families were analyzed using cycle sequencing. Families that lacked detectable variations based on sequencing (14 new and six previously analyzed) were further analyzed using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA).

resultsFifteen mutations were identified in 16 of the 33 families: c.[65_94del30; 99_105dup7], c.101_102insA, c.177delG, c.238_239insGCGA, c.1033-42_1033-26del17insG, c.1A>G, c.120C>A, c.718C>T, c.949C>T, c.1062C>A, c.1183G>A, c.1268A>T, and three gross deletions involving exons 1-14, exons 8-14, and exons 9-14. The first five mutations were novel and the c.1268A>T mutation was present in two families. Phenotypic variations were observed between families and between different affected patients within the families.

conclusionsThe PAX6 mutation spectrum in Chinese aniridia patients is comparable to that reported in other ethnic groups. Further studies of the 17 families with no detected mutations may provide additional information to improve the understanding of the molecular genetics of aniridia.
