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

aimTo investigate the foveal pit morphology changes in unaffected carriers and affected Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) patients with the G11778A mutation from one family.

methodsThis study was a prospective cross-sectional study. Both eyes from 16 family members (age from 9 to 47y) with the G11778A mutation were analyzed and compared with 1 eye from 20 normal control subjects. Eleven family members with the G11778A mutation but without optic neuropathy were classified as unaffected carriers (

resultsThicker foveal thickness, thinner foveal pit depth, and flatter foveal slopes were observed in unaffected carriers and affected LHON patients (all

conclusionThe foveal pit morphology shows changes in both unaffected carriers and affects patients. RNFL and GCL+IPL are thinner in affected LHON patients but not in unaffected carriers.
