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

purposeTo assess the long-term clinical course of 2 patients with PRPF31-related retinitis pigmentosa (RP). PATIENTS AND

methodsWe clinically examined 2 unrelated patients with RP and collected peripheral blood samples from them. Ophthalmic examinations, including best-corrected visual acuity measurements, Goldmann perimetry, full-field electroretinography, fundus autofluorescence imaging, and optical coherence tomography, were also performed. The visual acuity and visual field were continuously monitored. To identify the causative mutations, 74 genes known to cause RP or Leber congenital amaurosis were examined via targeted next-generation sequencing.

resultsThe clinical courses of both patients were similar. The onset of nyctalopia occurred in the first decade. Fundus examination showed typical RP. Although the patients' visual acuity was relatively preserved even into the fourth decade, the visual field area exhibited rapid deterioration in the mid-teens, with severe concentric constriction in the third decade. Mutation analysis revealed PRPF31 mutations as the cause for autosomal dominant RP in both patients.

conclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, few reports of long-term observations pertaining to patients with PRPF31-related RP have been published. The findings reported herein, especially those relating to the progressive degeneration of the visual field, may ultimately play a role in the provision of high-quality counseling for patients with this condition.
