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

aimThe aim of this case report was to report the clinical and genetic characteristics of choroideremia patient and a family member carrier. CASE REPORT: A comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, BCVA (best corrected visual acuity), fundus examination and photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT-angiography (OCTA), perimetry was conducted in choroideremia patient and a family member carrier. Clinical findings of choroidermia patient presented as significant atrophy of the choroid and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) with the exception of a portion of preserved tissue in the macula. OCT showed foveal thickening with parafovoal RPE and fotoreceptor (FR) atrophy. OCTA revealed loss of choriocapillaris vasculature. Clinical diagnosis of CHM mutation was confirmed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay (MLPA), followed by sequencing which revealed pathogen variance (c.1584_1587delTGTT). Clinical findings of carrier: small peripheral zones of atrophy and hyper pigmentation, without any symptoms or major visible changes on OCT or OCTA.

conclusionFollowing new frontiers in gene therapy it is of curtail importance to diagnose patients correctly as well as confirm clinical diagnosis by genetic testing.
