Whole mitochondrial genome analysis in Chinese patients with keratoconus.
Article in Molecular vision, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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: Keratoconus (KC) is a corneal disorder characterized by corneal ectasia, progressive corneal thinning, and conical protrusion. This study aimed to elucidate the mitochondrial gene profile in Chinese patients with KC, analyze the mitochondrial haplogroup and heteroplasmy, and further explore the association between mitochondrial genes and KC. Methods: Mitochondrial sequencing was conducted on 100 patients with KC and 100 matched controls. Haplogroup analysis was conducted with logistic regression analysis. The heteroplasmy was analyzed with ANOVA (ANOVA) and Student Results: We identified 689 variants in patients with KC and 725 variants in controls (with 308 variants shared by both). The mitochondrial haplogroups exhibited no statistically significant differences between the two groups. Based on the heteroplasmy analysis, the number of heteroplasmic variants in the complete mitochondrial genome, RNA coding regions, and noncoding regions were statistically significantly different in the KC cases and controls (p<0.05). The heteroplasmic levels of the m.16180_16182delAA, m.16182insC, and m.14569 G>C variants in the KC cases were statistically significantly higher than those in the controls (p<0.05). The SKAT analysis showed that the Conclusions: This study presents the mitochondrial gene profile of Chinese patients with KC and demonstrated that the
