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 immunohistochemical and histopathological changes in a subject with Autosomal Dominant Vitreoretinochoroidopathy (ADVIRC).

designCase study. PARTICIPANT: Ninety two year-old Caucasian male with ADVIRC.

methodsThe subject was documented clinically for 54 Years. The retina/choroid complex of the right eye was evaluated with cryosections stained with hematoxylin and eosin or periodic acid schiff reagent. Cryosections were also evaluated with immunofluorescence or alkaline phosphatase immunohistochemistry (IHC) using primary antibodies against bestrophin1, GFAP, PEDF, RPE65, TGFβ, VEGF, and vimentin. The left retina and choroid were evaluated as flat mounts using immunofluorescence. UEA lectin was used to stain viable vasculature.
