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

Brittle cornea syndrome is a rare recessively inherited disorder (a sub-type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) with a clinical presentation dominated by corneal fragility and deafness. There have been suggestions that it may also have a bone fragility phenotype, but there has been little detailed description. We describe two siblings with brittle cornea syndrome due to compound heterozygous mutations in
