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

Congenital Nystagmus (CN) is a genetically heterogeneous ocular disease, which causes a significant proportion of childhood visual impairment. To identify the underlying genetic defect of a CN family, twenty-two members were recruited. Genotype analysis showed that affected individuals shared a common haplotype with markers flanking FRMD7 locus. Sequencing FRMD7 revealed a T > C transition in exon 8, causing a conservative substitution of Isoleucine to Tyrosine at codon 240. By protein structural modeling, we found the mutation may disrupt the hydrophobic core and destabilize the protein structure. We reviewed the literature and found that exons 2, 8, and 9 (11.4% of the sequence of FRMD7 mRNA) represent the majority (55.3%) of the reported FRMD7 mutations. In summary, we identified a novel mutation in FRMD7, showed its molecular consequence, and revealed the mutation-rich exons of the FRMD7 gene. Collectively, this provides molecular insights for future CN clinical genetic diagnosis and treatment.
