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

Optic nerve malformations are common causes of congenital blindness and are recognized with increasing prevalence. The importance of identifying these malformations lies not only in determining the cause and level of visual impairment, but also in looking for associated treatable or life threatening systemic conditions. A number of genetic mutations have been identified in the development of optic disc anomalies, such as ones in PAX2 or PAX6. Recent advances in genetic testing like array comparative genomic hybridization allow the detection of microdeletions that were previously difficult or impossible to identify.
