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

The human long- and middle-wavelength sensitive cone opsin genes exhibit an extraordinary degree of haplotype diversity that results from recombination mechanisms that have intermixed the genes. As a first step in expression, genes-including the protein coding exons and intervening introns-are transcribed. Next, transcripts are spliced to remove the introns and join the exons to generate a mature message that codes for the protein. Important information necessary for splicing is contained within exons, and is overlaid by the protein code. Intermixing the long- and middle-wavelength sensitive cone opsin genes has disrupted the splicing code, leading to exclusion of some exons from the mature message and is associated with several vision disorders including nearsightedness, cone dystrophy, and color vision deficiencies.
