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

aimTo analyze phenotype and genotype of a Chinese pedigree with Avellino corneal dystrophy (ACD).

methodsComplete ophthalmic examinations were performed on all the family members. Exons of TGFBI were amplified by polymerase chain reaction, sequenced, and compared with a reference database.

resultsA single heterozygous G>A (R124H) point mutation was identified in exon 4 of TGFBI in three affected members and two unaffected children who were offsprings of the affected members, but not in the other family members.

conclusionMutation R124H in TGFBI was identified in this pedigree and appeared to be the disease causing mutation. Atypical phenotype and low penetrance was observed in this pedigree.
