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

purposeCockayne syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease, also known as a progeria disorder, causing dwarfism, senile appearance and multiple systemic affections. Ophthalmic abnormalities are frequent, for example, in the forms of pigmentary retinopathy with low visual acuity. We present two genetic-confirmed cases with a detailed electrophysiological exploration of their retinal findings.

methodsComplete ophthalmic exploration is undertaken, including full-field electroretinogram under ISCEV guidelines and multifocal electroretinogram (RETI-scan science, Roland-Consult, Germany), ultra-wide-field retinography and autofluorescence (Optomap, Optos PLC, Dunfermline, Scotland, UK) and macular and retinal nerve fibre layer optical coherence tomography (Cirrus, Carl-Zeiss Meditec, Inc, Dublin, CA).

resultsBoth cases presented with CSA/ERCC8 mutation and low visual acuity. Diffuse pigmentary retinopathy with macular atrophy was found in ultra-wide-field retinography and autofluorescence. Electrophysiological testing reported wide retinal dysfunction on both cone and rod system with macular involvement.

conclusionsPigmentary retinopathy in CS could translate a wide dysfunction of the retina with major affection of external retinal layers of both cone and rod cells. Macular implication is also present and could explain progressive vision loss in such cases.
