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: Family-based genetic linkage analysis and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many genomic loci associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Several causative genes of POAG have been intensively analyzed by sequencing in different populations. However, few investigations have been conducted on the identification of variants of coding region in the genes identified in GWASs. Therefore, further research is needed to investigate whether they harbor pathogenically relevant rare coding variants and account for the observed association. Methods: To identify the potentially disease-relevant variants (PDVs) in POAG-associated genes in Chinese patients, we applied molecular inversion probe (MIP)-based panel sequencing to analyze 26 candidate genes in 235 patients with POAG and 241 control subjects. Results: The analysis identified 82 PDVs in 66 individuals across 235 patients with POAG. By comparison, only 18 PDVs in 19 control subjects were found, indicating an enrichment of PDVs in the POAG cohort (28.1% versus 7.9%, p = 8.629e-09). Among 26 candidate genes, the prevalence rate of PDVs in five genes showed a statistically significant difference between patients and controls (33 out of 235 versus 1 out of 241, p = 4.533e-10), including Conclusions: The results suggest that some of the associations identified in POAG risk loci can be ascribed to rare coding variants with likely functional effects that modify POAG risk.
