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 the genetic defect in a four-generation Croatian family presenting with autosomal dominant cataract.

methodsGenome-wide linkage analysis with 250K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays was performed using DNA from one unaffected and seven affected individuals. Mutation screening of candidate genes was performed by bidirectional Sanger sequencing.

resultsEvidence for linkage was observed for eight genomic regions. Among these was a locus on chromosome 22 which encompasses the β-crystallin gene cluster. This cluster includes four genes, namely beta-crystallin B1 (CRYBB1), beta-crystallin B2 (CRYBB2), beta-crystallin B3 (CRYBB3), and beta-crystallin A4 (CRYBA4). A novel sequence variant was found in the CRYBB2 gene (p.Arg188His). This variant cosegregated with the disease phenotype in all affected individuals but was not present in the unaffected family members and 100 healthy control subjects.

conclusionsWe report a novel missense mutation, p.Arg188His, in CRYBB2 associated with congenital cataract in a family of Croatian origin. This variant is the most COOH-terminal missense mutation in CRYBB2 that has been identified so far.
