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 evaluate the nature and extent of functional abnormality in X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) by comparing three dark-adapted, full-field measures: the electroretinogram (ERG), pupillary light reflex (PLR), and luminance threshold. Methods: ERGs, PLRs (pupil constriction due to light stimulation), and luminance thresholds were measured from seven XLRS subjects and from 10 normally sighted, age-similar controls. ERGs and PLRs were obtained for a range of flash strengths, and these data were fit with Naka-Rushton functions to derive the maximum saturated b-wave (Vmax) and PLR (Pmax) amplitudes. Additionally, semi-saturation constants were obtained for the b-wave (σ) and PLR (s). Values of 1/σ and 1/s provide sensitivity measures. Full-field, dark-adapted luminance thresholds were measured using 465-nm and 642-nm flash stimuli. Results: Vmax and 1/σ were significantly reduced in XLRS compared to the controls (both t ≥ 5.33, P < 0.001). In comparison, Pmax was normal in the XLRS subjects (t = 1.39, P = 0.19), but 1/s was reduced (t = 7.84, P < 0.001). Luminance thresholds for the control and XLRS groups did not differ significantly (F = 3.57, P = 0.08). Comparisons among measures indicated that pupil sensitivity was correlated with luminance threshold for the long- and short-wavelength stimuli (both, r ≥ 0.77, P ≤ 0.04). Correlations among all other measures were not statistically significant. Conclusions: The results indicate that the presumed bipolar cell dysfunction in XLRS, indicated by b-wave abnormalities, has complex downstream effects: Dark-adapted luminance threshold and maximum pupil responses are not significantly affected, but pupil sensitivity is reduced.
