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 identify pathogenic mutations responsible for retinal dystrophies (RDs) in three unrelated Chinese families.

methodsThree probands from unrelated families with RDs were recruited. Genomic DNA prepared from leukocytes was analyzed using gene chip-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) to capture and sequence all of the exons of 100 known RD-associated genes. Candidate variants were validated with PCR and Sanger sequencing in the respective families. Thorough ophthalmic examinations including best-corrected visual acuity, funduscopic examination, and full-field electroretinograms were performed in the affected individuals.

resultsWe successfully identified causative mutations in patients from the Chinese families with RDS: the known mutation IMPDH1 c.942_944delGAA in a family with retinitis pigmentosa, the novel mutation ABCA4 c.1924T>A in a family with Stargardt disease, and the novel mutation NMNAT1 c.272A>G and known mutation NMNAT1 c.196C>T in a family with Leber congenital amaurosis. All variations segregated with the disease phenotypes in the respective families and were absent from ethnically matched control chromosomes. Prediction analysis demonstrated the two novel missense mutations might be damaging.

conclusionsThe results strongly suggested these mutations were responsible for different RD phenotypes in the Chinese families. NGS technology provides an accurate and economic method for identifying causative genes for RDs.
