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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to study the molecular basis of inherited autosomal recessive cataracts in Pakistan population and to identify the molecular defect segregating with the disease phenotype.

methodsFamilies having two or more affected individuals were identified through hospital, blood samples were collected and DNA was extracted. We employed the traditional strategy of linkage analysis using M13-labeled primers to map the already known genes for autosomal recessive cataract. Statistically, the data were evaluated through LOD score.

resultsTen families affected with autosomal receive congenital cataract were enrolled for this study. Overall, three families were linked to reported loci for autosomal recessive congenital cataract. Out of these, one family Bl05 was linked to a cataract locus at 9q13. Fine mapping of the chromosome 9 locus considerably delimited the previously reported linkage interval from 13.99 to 7.99 cM in this study.

conclusionOur results reduced the linkage interval of previously reported cataract locus on chromosome 9, thus considerably reducing the number of candidate genes.
