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

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a diverse group of degenerative diseases of the retina that can lead to significant reduction in vision and blindness. Because of the considerable phenotypic overlap among IRDs, genetic testing is a critical step in obtaining a definitive diagnosis for affected individuals and enabling access to emerging gene therapy-based treatments and ongoing clinical studies. While advances in molecular diagnostic technologies have significantly improved the understanding of IRDs and identification of disease-causing variants, training in genetic diagnostics among ophthalmologists is limited. In this review, we will provide ophthalmologists with an overview of genetic testing for IRDs, including the types of available testing, variant interpretation, and genetic counseling. Additionally, we will discuss the clinical applications of genetic testing in the molecular diagnosis of IRDs through case studies.
