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

Mutations in pre-mRNA splicing factors are the second most common cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, and a major cause of vision loss. The development of gene augmentation therapy for disease caused by mutations in PRPF31 necessitates defining pretreatment characteristics and disease progression of patients with PRPF31-related retinitis pigmentosa. We show rates of decline of visual field area -6.9% per year and 30-Hz flicker cone response of -9.2% per year, which are both similar to observed rates for retinitis pigmentosa. We hypothesize that RNA splicing factor retinitis pigmentosa will be amenable to treatment by AAV-mediated gene therapy, and that understanding the clinical progression rates of PRPF31 retinitis pigmentosa will help with the design of gene therapy clinical trials.
