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 evaluate the ocular findings and the relationship between these findings and the disease severity of patients with Fabry disease (FD) in South-East Anatolia.

methodsWe enrolled the 24 eyes of 24 patients with FD and the disease severity scores were obtained with FD severity scoring system (DS3). The relationship between the presence of any ocular findings and DS3 scores was evaluated.

resultsThe mean age of the patients was 35.2 ± 8.6 years. The mean DS3 score and α-galactosidase A enzyme activity of the patients was 7.04 ± 3.71 and 1.93 ± 0.84 μmol/l/h, respectively. Of the 24 patients, 20 (83.3%) had cornea verticillate (CV), 18 (75%) had tortuous conjunctival vessels, 15 (62.5%) had tortuous retinal vessels and 3 (12.5%) had lens opacities. The ocular vascular abnormalities were associated with disease severity (p < 0.05); however, the presence of CV did not affect the DS3 scores (p > 0.05).

conclusionsAccording to our study, the patients with ocular vascular abnormalities associated with FD had more severe disease than those who did not have an abnormality. CV was the most common ocular finding in FD, but it has no association with disease severity.
