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

Background: Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare inherited disorder marked by incomplete retinal vascularization associated with exudation, neovascularization, and tractional retinal detachment. FEVR is genetically heterogeneous and is caused by variants in six genes: Purpose: To identify pathogenic variants in Vietnamese pediatric patients diagnosed with FEVR and to investigate the clinical findings in correlation with each causative gene. Methods: A total of 20 probands underwent ocular examinations with fundoscopy (ophthalmoscopy) or fluorescein angiography. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the probands and their family members. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was employed to detect copy number variants of FEVR-causing genes. Short variants were screened by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and then validated by Sanger sequencing. Results: Fluorescein angiography showed retinal vascular anomalies in all patients. Other ocular abnormalities commonly found were strabismus, nystagmus, exudation, and retinal detachment. Genetic analysis identified 12 different variants in the Conclusions: This study sheds light on the genetic causes of ocular disorders with the clinical expression of FEVR in Vietnamese patients. WES was applied as a comprehensive tool to identify pathogenic variants in complex diseases, such as FEVR, and the detection rate of pathogenic mutations was up to 60%.
