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

backgroundSector retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an atypical form of RP in which only one or two quadrants of the retina are involved. The objectives of this study were to report the results of a molecular screening of five unrelated Chinese patients with sector RP and describe the clinical features observed in patients with RHO mutations.

methodsFive probands that were clinically diagnosed with sector RP were recruited for genetic analysis. They underwent ophthalmic examinations, including best corrected visual acuity, fundus examination, visual field examinations, and electroretinography. A combination of molecular screening methods, including the targeted next-generation sequencing (TES) and sanger-DNA sequencing of RHO, were used to detect mutations. In silico programs were used to analyze the pathogenicity of all the variants.

resultsThree RHO missense mutations (p.T17M, p.L31Q, and p.G106R) were identified in the five unrelated probands. The novel mutation p.L31Q was detected in three unrelated probands. All patients showed bilateral and symmetrical retinal degeneration in the inferior retina and had relatively good visual acuity. Patients with the p.L31Q mutation showed phenotypic variability and variable penetrance.

conclusionOur results indicate that RHO mutations are also common in Chinese patients with sector RP. The RHO gene should be given priority during mutation screening analysis for Chinese patients with sector RP.
