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

The Foundation Fighting Blindness is a 50-year old 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the development of treatments and cures for people affected by the inherited retinal diseases (IRD), a group of clinical diagnoses that include orphan diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome, and Stargardt disease, among others. Over $760 M has been raised and invested in preclinical and clinical research and resources. Key resources include a multi-national clinical consortium, an international patient registry with over 15,700 members that is expanding rapidly, and an open access genetic testing program that provides no cost comprehensive genetic testing to people clinically diagnosed with an IRD living in the United States. These programs are described with particular focus on the challenges and outcomes of establishing the registry and genetic testing program.
