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

Congenital disorder of glycosylation-Ia (CDG-Ia) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, characterized by systemic and ophthalmological abnormalities. Here, we report multiple retinal astrocytic hamartomas as a new retinal finding in an adolescent affected by congenital disorder of CDG-Ia. A 15-year-old boy affected by CDG-Ia underwent full ophthalmic examination, full field electroretinography (ERG) evaluation and retinal multimodal imaging, including: fundus photography, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and blue fundus autofluorescence (FAF). Blue FAF showed multiple papillary and iuxtapapillary bilateral hyper-FAF lesions, corresponding to hyperreflective thickening of the retinal nerve fiber layer, with internal optical empty spaces and posterior dense optical shadowing at SD-OCT. These imaging findings were consistent with retinal astrocytic hamartomas. Scotopic ERG response was significantly reduced in both eyes. Macular edema and absence of the retinal outer segments layer were also detectable. Retinal multi-modal imaging provides additional insights about retinal involvement of patients affected by CDG-Ia. In particular, this case shows the presence of multiple retinal astrocytic hamartomas.
