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

Purpose: To report on a clinical and genetic investigation of a large, multigenerational South African family of mixed ancestry with autosomal dominant congenital cataracts, coloboma, and nystagmus. Methods: Ophthalmic examination was performed in 27 individuals from the same admixed South African family. DNA was sampled from either peripheral blood or buccal swabs in all 27 individuals, and whole genome sequencing was performed in six individuals. Sanger sequencing was used to validate the probable mutation in the remaining family members. Results: Twenty-seven family members with 19 affected individuals were included in the study. The predominant phenotype, with highly variable expression, was congenital cataract (14 individuals), posterior segment coloboma (17 individuals), and nystagmus (18 individuals). Other features present included high myopia, microcornea, and strabismus. An R208W mutation in Conclusions:
