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

purposeGlaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. Juvenile-onset open-angle is a subtype of glaucoma. In this context, we investigate the possible mutations in the promoter and coding regions of the CYP1B1 gene among patients suffering juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG).

methodsThe CYP1B1 gene was analysed for mutations in 61 unrelated Taiwanese probands with JOAG and in 100 healthy control subjects. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and then subjected to PCR. The amplified products were screened for base mutations by autosequence. Next, data from the two groups were compared using the χ(2) test. Additionally, three-dimensional (3D) modelling of the human wild-type and p.R390H mutation was performed using SWISS-MODEL, an automated homology modelling program. Finally, the figure was prepared for the modelled structures by using the Accelrys ViewerLite 5.0 program.

resultsAnalysis results indicated two CYP1B1 mutations and five polymorphisms. The prevalence of CYP1B1 gene mutations in this study was 4.92% (3/61). The mutations included a missense mutation (p.Arg390His; 2/3) and a mutation in the 5'-untranslated region (c.1-313A>C; 1/3). Moreover, computer-assisted modelling revealed that this p.R390H mutation affects the intra-molecular interaction in the hydrogen-bonding interaction with Glu387 and Asn428, thus altering significantly the efficiency of the haem-binding and proper folding of the molecule.

conclusionsAs a result, the p.Arg390His mutation might affect the protein structure and, ultimately, the normal function of CYP1B1. Therefore, we suggest that the c.1169G>A (p.Arg390His) mutation of CYP1B1 may be a risk factor for the development of JOAG.
