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

We report the case of a 3-year-old boy presenting with bilateral keratoglobus and blue sclera in addition to hallux valgus, arachnodactyly, small joint hypermobility, mitral valve dysfunction and a history of generalized muscular hypotonia in early infancy. Molecular genetics provided evidence of two pathogenic mutations in the ZNF469 gene (compound heterozygosity) leading to the diagnosis of brittle cornea syndrome type 1. In addition to neuropediatric care, spectacles were prescribed to correct refractive error and for ocular protection. Owing to the thin cornea and sclera, eye injuries are the main cause for irreversible visual loss in this disease.
