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

The possible genetic variants associated with blepharospasm (BSP) and facial dystonia have been investigated. Although genetic variants associated with BSP have been extensively studied, the contribution of single-nucleotide polymorphisms towards this condition remains poorly understood. In addition, the etiology of BSP remains to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the role of polymorphisms in the torsin 1A (TOR1A), dopamine receptor D (DRD)2 and DRD5 genes in South Korean patients with BSP. Furthermore, the role of genetic variants of these three aforementioned genes was investigated. A prospective case-control study was established, where 56 patients with BSP and 115 healthy controls were recruited at the Department of Ophthalmology of CHA Bundang Medical Center (Seongnam, South Korea) using single nucleotide polymorphisms analysis by real-time PCR.
