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

purposeThis study aims to analyze the Norrie disease gene (NDP) variants in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and their clinical features.

methodsThirty-three Chinese patients (22 familial and 11 simplex) who were diagnosed as FEVR underwent detailed ocular examinations in Beijing Tongren Hospital. Peripheral venous blood was drawn from the patients and their family members for the extraction of genomic DNA. All exons of NDP gene were analyzed by direct sequencing of PCR-amplified DNA fragments.

resultsFour novel mutations in NDP gene were identified in four X-linked FEVR families: a C → T transversion, c. 625C → T, in exon 3, resulting in a serine-to-proline change in codon 73 (S73P); a C → G transition, c. 751C → G, in exon 3, resulting in an arginine-to-glycine change in codon 115 (R115G); a T → C transversion of nucleotide 331 at 5'UTR in exon 2 (c.331 T → C); and a C → T transversion of the nucleotide 5 in intron 1 (IVS1 + 5C → T). The mutations were not present in the control group (n = 100).

conclusionsOur results extend the spectrum of NDP gene mutations. The mutations in the non-coding region of NDP may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of FEVR.
