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 report a case of pseudo-unilateral occult macular dystrophy (OMD) with an Arg45Trp mutation in the RP1L1 gene and had unilateral functional changes for about 9 years. CASE REPORT: A 64-year-old woman with a decimal visual acuity of 1.0 in both eyes complained about difficulties with visual tasks because of presbyopia. At the age of 65 years, her visual acuity in the left eye decreased to 0.2, while that in the right eye was 0.7. The fundus of both eyes was normal except for drusen. After 10 years and at the age of 75 years, her visual acuity in the right eye decreased to 0.3. Focal macular electroretinograms (ERGs) at this time were severely attenuated in both eyes, while the full-field ERGs were within normal limits. Ophthalmoscopy showed that the fundus of both eyes was still normal. Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous mutation, Arg45Trp, in the RP1L1 gene.

conclusionsThese findings indicate that the phenotype in some cases of OMD with an Arg45Trp mutation in the RP1L1 gene can be unilateral for a considerable period.
