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: Multiple pigmented epithelial cysts at the edge of pupils, that is, iris flocculi, in both eyes, are rare ocular diseases. It has been demonstrated that this disease can be attributed to mutations in the smooth muscle α-actin 2 ( Case description: A 6-month-old Chinese boy was found to have iris flocculi during ocular fundus screening for premature infants. His mother, a 30-year-old Chinese woman with a history of aortic dissection, underwent an ophthalmic examination and was found to have iris flocculi. Whole exome sequencing revealed a heterozygous c.445C > T (p. Arg149Cys) mutation in Conclusion: We reported one case of familial iris flocculi caused by a heterozygous missense mutation in
