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

Glyoxalase 1 (GLO1) is a ubiquitous cellular enzyme involved in detoxification of methylglyoxal (MGO), a cytotoxic byproduct of glycolysis, whose excess can cause oxidative stress. In retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the prevalent cause of blindness just during working life in the industrialized countries, oxidative stress represents one of the possible mechanisms leading to death of cones following that of rods in the retina. To date, the causes of secondary death of cones remain unclear and among proposed mechanisms are: the deprivation of trophic factors normally produced by healthy rods, a compromised uptake of nutrients to cones due to irreversible destruction of RPE-cone outer segment, microglial activation and following release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and rod-derived toxins. In present paper, role of oxidative stress due to an excess of MGO was evaluated. In particular, we wanted to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GLO1 influence enzyme activity, contributing to cone death in advanced RP. 120 healthy controls and 80 RP patients from Sicilian population were genotyped for three GLO1 common SNPs, rs1130534 (c.372A>T, p.G124G), rs2736654 (c.A332C, p.E111A) and rs1049346 (c.-7C>T, 5'-UTR). While c.A332C polymorphism was not associated with RP, c.372A>T showed an allelic association (T372 allele frequency = 70% vs 60% in controls, p = 0.0071). Conversely, c.-7C>T showed both genotypic (χ
