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.
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
X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is one of the leading causes of macular degeneration in male children. The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics of a Taiwanese family with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) and to investigate the genetic mutation in the retinoschisin 1 (RS1) gene. A total of four participants in this XLRS family were analyzed. Complete ophthalmic examinations were performed, including best corrected visual acuity, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and electroretinogram (ERG). Direct DNA sequence of the RS1 gene identified one affected male and one female carrier. The affected male, had a cartwheel-like macular appearance and abnormal retinal pigment epithelium pigmentation in his bilateral eyes. The mixed scotopic ERG b-wave was more reduced than a-wave. OCT revealed typical macular microcystic schisis cavities. Direct DNA sequence analysis revealed a single base pair substitution in Exon 4, 304C > T, resulting in Arg102Trp. Our results show a RS1 (304C > T) mutation in a Taiwanese family with XLRS. This finding expands the clinical profiles of RS1 mutation and may help to further understand its pathogenesis.
