Genetic analysis assists diagnosis of clinical systemic disease in children with excessive hyperopia.

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
backgroundA thorough examination (especially those including visual functional evaluation) is very important in children's eye-development during clinical practice, when they encountered with unusual excessive hyperopia especially accompanied with other possible complications. Genetic testing would be beneficial for early differential diagnosis as blood sampling is more convenient than all other structural imaging capture tests or functional tests which need children to cooperate well. Thus genetic testing helps us to filter other possible multi-systemic diseases in children patients with eye disorder. CASE PRESENTATION: A 3-year-old and an 8-year-old boy, both Chinese children clinically manifested as bilateral excessive hyperopia (≥+10.00), severe amblyopia and exotropia, have been genetically diagnosed as Senior-Loken syndrome-5 (SLSN5) and isolated posterior microphthalmos (MCOP6), respectively.
conclusionsThis report demonstrates the importance of genetic diagnosis before a clinical consult. When children are too young to cooperate with examinations, genetic testing is valuable for predicting other systemic diseases and eye-related development and for implementing early interventions for the disease.
