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

purposeTo report long-term ophthalmic findings in Wolfram syndrome, including rates of visual decline, macular thinning, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning, and outer plexiform layer (OPL) lamination.

designSingle-center, cohort study.

methodsA total of 38 participants were studied, who underwent a complete ophthalmic examination as well as optical coherence tomography imaging of the macula and nerve on an annual basis. Linear mixed-effects models for longitudinal data were used to examine both fixed and random effects related to visual acuity and optic nerve quadrants of RNFL and macula thickness.

resultsParticipants completed a mean of 6.44 years of follow-up (range 2-10 years). Visual acuity declined over time in all participants, with a mean slope of 0.059 logMAR/y (95% CI = 0.07-0.05 logMAR/y), although nearly 25% of participants experienced more rapid visual decline. RNFL thickness decreased in superior, inferior, and nasal quadrants (β = -0.5 µm/y, -0.98 µm/y, -0.28 µm/y, respectively). OPL lamination was noted in 3 study participants, 2 of whom had autosomal dominant mutations.

conclusionsOur study describes the longest and largest natural history study of visual acuity decline and retinal morphometry in Wolfram syndrome to date. Results suggest that there are slower and faster progressing subgroups and that OPL lamination is present in some individuals with this disease.
