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

purposePrimary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a leading cause of blindness. Despite tremendous human effort and financial input, no definitive causative gene has been identified either through genome-wide association or Mendelian family studies. In the current study, novel candidate genes for PACG were investigated by studying the variants of nanophthalmos-associated genes.

methodsA case-control study was conducted that included 45 PACG patients and 12 normal controls with short axial length (AL, less than 23.5 mm but more than 20.5 mm). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to screen the variants in previously identified nanophthalmos-associated genes, as well as other risk genes.

resultsThe age range of the 45 PACG patients was 24 to 80 years, with an average AL of 21.87±0.65 mm (range: 20.54-23.45 mm) in the right eye and 21.89±0.64 mm (range 20.60-23.23 mm) in the left eye. Four novel myelin regulatory factor (

conclusionsAn appropriate approach was adopted to investigate the genetics of PACG through nanophthalmos-associated genes. A genetic variant,
