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

In light of the elucidation of the molecular pathogenesis of some dominantly inherited retinal degenerations over the past two decades, it is timely to explore possible means of therapeutic intervention for such diseases. However, the presence of significant levels of intergenic and intragenic genetic heterogeneity in this group of dominant conditions represents a barrier to the development of therapies focused on correcting the primary genetic defect. More than 60 genes have been implicated in dominant retinopathies and indeed over 150 different mutations in the rhodopsin gene alone have been identified in patients with autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. Employing next-generation sequencing to characterise populations of retinal degeneration patients genetically over the coming years will beyond doubt serve to highlight further the immense genetic heterogeneity inherent in this group of disorders. Such diversity in genetic aetiologies has promoted the search for therapeutic solutions for dominantly inherited retinopathies that are independent of disease-causing mutations. The various approaches being considered to provide mutation-independent therapies for these dominant conditions will be discussed in the review, as will the preclinical data supporting the further development of such strategies.
