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

purposeMouse serine protease 56 (Prss56) mutants show a phenotype of angle-closure glaucoma with a shortened ocular axial length. Mutations in the human PRSS56 gene are associated with posterior microphthalmia and nanopthalmos. In this study, variations in PRSS56 were evaluated in patients with either primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) or high hyperopia.

methodsA total of 561 participants were enrolled in this study, including 189 individuals with PACG, 110 individuals with simple high hyperopia (sphere refraction ≥+5.00 D), and 262 normal control subjects (-0.5 D<sphere refraction<+0.5 D). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing were performed to detect sequence variations in PRSS56. Novel variations were evaluated using online tools, such as PolyPhen-2 and SIFT. The frequencies of the variations were compared between patients and controls using Fisher's exact test (α=0.05).

resultsEleven variants including ten novel variants and one known variant, involving 15 alleles, were detected in 14 patients (five patients with PACG and nine patients with high hyperopia). Of the 11 variants, two novel variants were detected in four out of 262 normal controls, involving four alleles. The frequency of the variants in the patients with high hyperopia significantly differed from that in the controls (p=0.003).

conclusionsThe results indicate that variants in PRSS56 may be implicated in PACG and high hyperopia.
