Novel mutations in CRYGC are associated with congenital cataracts in Chinese families.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Congenital cataract (CC), responsible for about one-third of blindness in infants, is a major cause of vision loss in children worldwide. 10-25% of CC cases are attributed to genetic causes and CC is a clinically and genetically highly heterogeneous lens disorder in children. Autosomal dominant (AD) inheritance is the most commonly pattern. 195 unrelated non-syndromic ADCC families in this study are recruited from 15 provinces of China. Sanger sequencing approach followed by intra-familial co-segregation, in Silico analyses and interpretation of the variations according to the published guidelines of American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG), were employed to determine the genetic defects. Two mutations (p.Tyr139X and p.Ser166Phe) identified in two unrelated families were associated with their congenital nuclear cataracts and microcornea respectively, which are also reported previously. Six novel CRYGC mutations (p.Asp65ThrfsX38, p.Arg142GlyfsX5, p.Arg142AlafsX22, p.Tyr144X, p.Arg169X, and p.Tyr46Asp) were identified in other six families with congenital nuclear cataracts, respectively. Mutations in the CRYGC were responsible for 4.1% Chinese ADCC families in our cohort. Our results expand the spectrum of CRYGC mutations as well as their associated phenotypes.
