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

Cataract is the most prevalent leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. In comparison to congenital cataract, which affects relatively few individuals, age-related cataract is responsible for slightly half of all cases of blindness worldwide. Although significant work has been done, the genetic aspect of age-related cataract is still in its infancy. The current study was performed to analyze the mutations and polymorphisms in the
