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

We present ophthalmic features and genetic analysis findings of a 44-year-old croatian patient with enhanced S-cone syndrome (ESCS). Complete ophthalmic examination, Ishihara colour vision test, dark adaptometry, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence imaging, Goldmann visual field and automated perimetry, full-field electroretinography (ERG), multifocal ERG, S-cone ERG and ON-OFF ERG were performed. Mutation screening of the NR2E3 gene, which encodes a photoreceptor-specific orphan nuclear receptor, was performed with polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing. The patient has good visual acuity and normal colour vision. Fundus examination showed normal posterior pole and nummular pigment depositions at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium in the mid-periphery of the retina. The SD-OCT images showed normal macular structure and thickness. The ERG showed characteristic findings: photopic and scotopic responses to the same stimulus had a similar waveform and were dominated by short-wavelength-sensitive mechanisms. Mutation analysis revealed the known NR2E3 mutation c.481delA (p.Thr161HisFsX18) and the novel NR2E3 variant c.1120C > T (p.Leu374Phe). To the best of our knowledge, this is the only ESCS patient older than 40 years who phenotypically has preserved macular structure, good central visual acuity and severely depressed full-field ERG as well as the first reported patient with NR2E3 mutation from Croatia.
