Mapping of locus for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa on chromosome 6q23.
Article in Human genetics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetically heterogeneous group of retinal degenerative disorders resulting in severe visual loss and blindness that have remained incurable till date. We report the mapping of the disease locus in a 3-generation family of Indian origin with autosomal dominant RP (ADRP). Diagnosis of RP and recruitment was made after a complete clinical evaluation of all members. Manifestations of the disease included night blindness with blurred central vision in some cases, loss of peripheral vision, and diffuse degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium. Linkage analysis using microsatellite markers was carried out on 34 members (14 affected). After testing for linkage to known retinal dystrophy loci as well as a subsequent genome-wide analysis, we detected linkage to markers on chromosome 6q23: D6S262 at 130 cM, D6S457 (130 cM) and D6S1656 (131 cM) gave significant 2-point LOD scores of 3.0-3.8. Multipoint LOD scores of ≥3.0 were obtained for markers between 121 and 130 cM. Haplotype analysis with several markers in the same region on chromosome 6 shows a disease-cosegregating region of about 25 Mb between 109 and 135 Mb. There are no known RP genes in this interval, which contains >100 genes. This study provides evidence for a novel ADRP locus on chromosome 6q23.
