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

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is one of the mitochondrial diseases that causes loss of central vision, progressive impairment and subsequent degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). In recent years, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have revealed structural abnormalities in visual white matter tracts, such as the optic tract, and optic radiation. However, it is still unclear if the disease alters only some parts of the white matter architecture or whether the changes also affect other subcortical areas of the brain. This study aimed to improve our understanding of morphometric changes in subcortical brain areas and their associations with the clinical picture in LHON by the application of a submillimeter surface-based analysis approach to the ultra-high-field 7T magnetic resonance imaging data. To meet these goals, fifteen LHON patients and fifteen age-matched healthy subjects were examined. For all individuals, quantitative analysis of the morphometric results was performed. Furthermore, morphometric characteristics which differentiated the groups were correlated with variables covering selected aspects of the LHON clinical picture. Compared to healthy controls (HC), LHON carriers showed significantly lower volume of both palladiums (left
