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

backgroundPrader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disease caused by loss of expression of the paternally inherited copy of several genes on the long arm of chromosome 15. Ophthalmic manifestations of PWS include strabismus, amblyopia, nystagmus, hypopigmentation of the iris and choroid, diabetic retinopathy, cataract and congenital ectropion uvea. An overlap between PWS and oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) has long been recognized and attributed to deletion of OCA2 gene located in PWS critical region (PWCR). CASE REPORT: A 30-year-old male patient with PWS presented with vision loss in his left eye. His right eye had normal visual acuity. Multimodal imaging revealed absence of a foveal depression and extremely reduced diameter of the foveal avascular zone in the right eye and an inactive type 2 macular neovascular lesion in the left eye.

conclusionsWe report a presumed association of fovea plana and choroidal neovascularization with PWS. The use of multimodal imaging revealed novel findings in a PWS patient that might enrich our current understanding of the overlap between PWS and OCA.
