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

Ectopia lentis (EL) is a condition that can either herald underlying systemic conditions, or be isolated. The recent expansion in the genetics of these conditions has furthered the understanding of the underlying molecular aetiology. It is becoming apparent that novel genes, and in particular the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) family, are important in ocular development. The common link in these genes seems to be EL. The clinical management of EL is challenging. In particular, the options for addressing surgically induced aphakia in the context of an ectopic capsule are varied. Little evidence exists to direct management of these issues. This review summarises the molecular pathogenesis of EL and conditions associated with it, using the genetic aetiology as a framework. Furthermore, it summarises some of the issues involved in its clinical management.
