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

The objective of this study was to investigate the genotype-phenotype correlation of the PAX6 gene in aniridia. We clinically examined 5 families and 16 sporadic patients with aniridia. We performed chromosomal analysis and PCR analysis of the PAX6 gene using patient genomic DNA. Chromosomal analysis demonstrated deletions at 11p13 in one allele in four sporadic patients. Seven nonsense mutations, two frameshifts (two insertions), four splice junction errors and two missense mutations were found, and all were heterozygous. The iris phenotype ranged from total to normal in each patient, and the characteristic phenotypes, including cataract, glaucoma or optic nerve hypoplasia, varied widely even among members of the same family. Foveal hypoplasia was detected in all patients except for one. No obvious genotype-phenotype correlation was identified; however, the aniridia phenotype between the two eyes in each patient was quite similar in all patients. Because PAX6 regulates numerous downstream genes and its expression is regulated by several factors during eye development, the aniridia phenotype may be complex even in family members. However, because PAX6 regulation, resulting from both paternal and maternal alleles associated with PAX6, is considered to be roughly similar in both eyes of each patient, the aniridia phenotype may be similar in both eyes of each patient.
