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

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) was first described over a century ago. Since then, we have learnt much about its clinical manifestations, surgical and non-surgical treatment, microscopic appearance and pathogenesis. Over the past decade, significant advances have been made with respect to our understanding of FECD genetics. This progress now enables us to appreciate that FECD in fact describes multiple entities with distinct underlying genetic causes. For example, an early-onset and rare form of the disease has been attributed to missense mutations in the
