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

Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, mainly affecting the nervous system, the eye and skin. Ocular diagnostic hallmarks of NF1 include iris Lisch nodules, optic gliomas, orbital and eyelid neurofibromas, eyelid café-au-lait spots. In recent years, a new ocular sign represented by choroidal abnormalities (CAs) has been characterized in NF1. The CAs, identified with near-infrared reflectance, have been reported with a frequency of up to 100% in NF1, and have recently been added to the actual diagnostic criteria for NF1. The present Letter to the journal is intended to provide an update on features and clinical significance of CAs in NF1. Moreover, the relation with other ocular manifestations recently described in NF1 including hyperpigmented spots and retinal microvascular abnormalities is discussed.
