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

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) are similar in that both result in photoreceptor degeneration leading to permanent progressive vision loss. This affords the possibility of implementing vision restoration techniques, where light signaling is restored to spared retinal circuitry to recreate vision. There are far more AMD patients (Wong et al., 2014), yet more resources have been put towards researching and developing vision restoration strategies for RP despite it rarity, because of the tractability of RP disease models. The hope is that these therapies will extend to the AMD population, however, many questions remain about how the implementation of prosthetic or optogenetic vision restoration technologies will translate between RP and AMD patients. In this review, we discuss the difference and similarities of RP and AMD with a focus on aspects expected to impact vision restoration strategies, and we identify key gaps in knowledge needed to further improve vision restoration technologies for a broad patient population.
