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

purposeTo report the clinical and electrophysiological features of cone dystrophy with supernormal rod response (CDSRR).

methodsRetrospective cohort study of 15 unrelated patients (nine males and six females, median age 16, range 5-47 years) diagnosed with CDSRR by clinical examination, full-field electroretinography (ERG) and genetic testing. OBSERVATIONS: History, ophthalmic examination including near vision, color vision and contrast sensitivity assessment, multimodal retinal imaging and ERG. Genetic testing was done for all patients using next-generation sequencing.

resultsThe rate of consanguinity was 86.7%. Color vision was defective in 56.3%. Near vision was defective in all patients (mean 20/160). Contrast sensitivity was affected in all patients at low contrast of 2.5%. A parafoveal ring of increased autofluorescence imaging was seen in most patients (75%). Supernormal mixed maximal response b-wave was seen bilaterally in 63% of patients (and high normal in 37%). Rod dysfunction with prolonged rod b-wave latency was detected in all. The 30-Hz flicker response was more reduced and delayed compared to the single-flash cone response. A novel homozygous missense variant c.530G>C (p.Cys177Ser) in KCNV2 was detected in one patient, the nonsense homozygous mutation c.427G>T (p.Glu143*) was found in 13 patients, and the nonsense c.159C>G (p.Tyr53*) was found in one patient.

conclusionThis is the largest cohort of CDSRR from a single ethnic background. Rod dysfunction and reduced 30-Hz flicker response were demonstrated in all patients. In contrast to previous descriptions in the literature, a supernormal combined dark-adapted rod-cone ERG was present in the majority of the patients at standard stimulus intensity. Considering the consistent genotype and the demonstration of likely pathogenic genetic variants in all the patients, we argue that the combination of delayed rod b-wave and subnormal flicker response strongly suggests the diagnosis of CDSRR.
