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

purposeTo describe the finding of bright hyperautofluorescent streaks in the peripheral retina in tuberous sclerosis. OBSERVATIONS: A woman with a pathogenic TSC1 mutation and cutaneous manifestations of tuberous sclerosis underwent fundus examination and was found to have a cluster of thin, yellowish streaks in the inferior peripheral fundus of her left eye. The streaks were hyperautofluorescent in blue light and associated with irregular thickening of the photoreceptor-pigment epithelium complex on optical coherence tomography. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: The cluster of outer retinal abnormalities in a sector of the peripheral retina in one eye of a TSC1 patient has features in common with the more centrally located and less numerous lesions called achromatic patches. The resemblance of the streak pattern with the pattern of hypoautofluorescence in X-linked retinopathies suggests that the streaks may represent a clone of cells derived from a single somatic mutation in TSC1. The identification of this lesion type expands the scope of conditions that can be diagnosed by fundus imaging.
