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

purposeMutations in the eyes shut homolog (EYS) gene are a frequent cause of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (arRP). This study used multimodal retinal imaging to elucidate genotype-phenotype correlations in EYS-related RP (EYS-RP).

designCross-sectional study.

methodsMultimodal retinal imaging and electrophysiologic testing were assessed for 16 patients with genetic confirmation of EYS-RP.

resultsA total of 27 unique EYS variants were identified in 16 patients. Seven patients presented with an unusual crescent-shaped hyperautofluorescent (hyperAF) ring on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging encompassing a large nasal-superior area of the posterior pole. Three patients had a typical circular or oval perifoveal hyperAF ring and 6 patients had no hyperAF ring. Spectral-domain (SD) and en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed preserved ellipsoid zone and retinal thickness spatially corresponding to areas within the hyperAF rings. Eleven patients presented with a rod-cone dystrophy on full-field electroretinogram (ffERG), 1 patient presented with cone-rod dystrophy, and 4 patients did not undergo ffERG testing. A significant spatial association was found between EYS variant position and FAF phenotype, with variants occurring at a nucleotide position greater than GRCh37 6:65300137 (c.5617C) being more associated with patients exhibiting hyperAF rings at presentation.

conclusionsEYS-RP is a heterogeneous manifestation. Variants occurring in positions closer to the C-terminus of EYS are more common in patients presenting with hyperAF rings on FAF imaging.
