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

Choroideremia is a bilateral and progressive X-linked inherited disease characterized by widespread chorioretinal atrophy with relative sparing of the macular region. It is caused by mutations in the ubiquitously expressed CHM gene, which lead to the absence of the Rab escort protein 1 (REP-1), resulting in prenylation deficiency. Typical fundus appearances for choroideremia were found in 3 probands from three unrelated Chinese families in our study. We firstly used the targeted exome sequencing (TES) technology to detect mutations in CHM gene. Based on an established filtering strategy of data analyses, along with confirmation by co-segregation, a previously reported mutation (c.1584_1587del TGTT, p.V529Hfs*7) was identified in one family, while two novel mutations (c.227_232delinsTGTCATTTCA, p.Q76Lfs*7; c.710dupA, p.Y237_S238delinsX) were identified in the other two families. These findings not only expands the currently limited spectrum of Chinese disease-causing variants in CHM gene, but also increases our understanding of the phenotypic and genotypic correlations of choroideremia, and may potentially lead to improved genetic counseling and specific treatment for families with choroideremia as well.
