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

Purpose: To investigate clinical characteristics of RDH5-related fundus albipunctatus (FAP) in a Japanese cohort. Methods: Twenty-five patients from 22 pedigrees with RDH5-related FAP were studied. Ophthalmic medical records were reviewed. For genetic analysis, either Sanger sequencing of the RDH5 gene or whole-exome sequencing was performed. Results: Genetic analysis identified eight different RDH5 variants, including seven known RDH5 variants (p.G35S, p.G107R, p.R167H, p.A240GfsX19, p.R278X, p.R280H, and p.L310delinsEV) and a novel variant: c.259C>T (p.Q87X). The most frequently observed variant was p.L310delinsEV (65.2%, 30/46 alleles). Of 50 eyes examined, 44 eyes (88.0%) showed logMAR best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.10 or better. In optical coherence tomography, macular involvement was observed in 12 patients (24 eyes). Ten patients (83.3%) who had good BCVA (0.10 or better) exhibited diffuse disruption of the outer retina with foveal sparing, and two patients (16.7%) exhibited diffuse disruption throughout the macula and decreased BCVA. Among the 24 eyes, ring-or crescent-shaped hyperautofluorescence or irregular autofluorescence around the fovea was observed in 15 eyes (83.3%) of 18 eyes examined by fundus autofluorescence imaging. Full-field electroretinography showed extinguished or severely decreased rod responses in all 23 examined patients, whereas decreased cone responses were seen in 17 patients (73.9%). Conclusions: Multimodal imaging and electroretinography of RDH5-related FAP revealed high frequencies of macular involvement in older patients and decreased cone responses. Our findings suggest that progressive macular/cone dysfunction, as well as delayed rod function, may be key phenotypic features of RDH5-related FAP.
