Macular Dystrophy with Bilateral Macular Telangiectasia Related to the CYP2U1 Pathogenic Variant Assessed with Multimodal Imaging Including OCT-Angiography.
Article in Genes, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeWe report the case of a neurologically asymptomatic young boy presenting with an unusual phenotype of CASE PRESENTATION: A twelve-year-old boy from a non-consanguineous family complained of bilateral progressive visual loss and photophobia. The best-corrected visual acuity was 2/10 on the right eye and 3/10 on the left eye. Fundus examination showed central pigmented fibrotic macular scar and yellowish punctuate deposits in both eyes. En face OCT-A detected typical macular telangiectasia (MacTel) in both eyes with dilated telangiectatic capillaries in the deep capillary plexus associated with vascular anomalies in the superficial and deep capillary plexus. Typical hypo-reflective cavities were observed within the inner foveal layers on structural OCT. En face OCT-A also confirmed the presence of bilateral inactive CNV within the fibrotic scars, showing high-flow vascular network at the level of the subretinal hyperreflective lesions. Whole exome sequencing identified a known homozygous pathogenic variant in
conclusionMacular dystrophy can be the first manifestation in SPG56. A particular phenotype with MacTel was observed, and neovascular complications are possible.
