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 the longitudinal clinical course of three Japanese patients from two families with Leber congenital amaurosis/early-onset retinal dystrophy (LCA/EORD), and the results of next-generation DNA sequences on them. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe patients were three Japanese children: a 4-year-old girl, a 6-year-old boy, and a 3-year-old girl. Patients 1 and 2 were siblings, and patient 3 was from an unrelated family. Standard ophthalmic examinations including perimetry, electroretinography, optical coherence tomography, and ultrasonography were performed on each patient. The patients were observed for 28, 16, and 10 years. Whole exomes of the patients and their non-symptomatic parents were analyzed using a next-generation sequence technique.

resultsThe decimal visual acuity varied between 0.07 and 0.6 at the initial visit and decreased to counting finger to hand motion in their teens. Funduscopy showed diffuse retinal and macular degeneration. During the follow-up period, a posterior staphyloma developed and the macular area became atrophic. Patient 1 developed cataracts in her early twenties. Genetic analysis revealed a homozygous A126V substitution in the RDH12 gene in all patients.

conclusionsThe three patients with LCA/EORD had a progressive decrease of their vision with the formation of a posterior staphyloma. This is the first report of Japanese patients with LCA/EORD with a RDH12 mutation.
