Screening the pathogenic causes of congenital cataract via whole exome sequencing technology in three families: Molecular genetics of congenital cataract.

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.
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
Congenital cataract is the commonest cause of visual impairment and blindness in children worldwide. Among congenital cataract cases, ~25% are caused by genetic defects, while several genetic mutations have been identified in hereditary cataract. In the present study, a patient with cataract underwent clinical ophthalmic examination and pedigree analysis. Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were performed to identify and verify gene mutations. The frequency, conservation, pathogenicity and hydrophobicity of the mutated amino acids were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis. The clinical examination and investigation verified that the probands of family A and C suffered from nuclear cataracts. In addition, the proband of family B was diagnosed with white punctate opacity. The pattern of inheritance was autosomal dominant. The sequencing analysis results revealed a mutation c.592-c593insG (p.W198Wfs*22) in exon 6 of
