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

Inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) are a group of Mendelian disorders characterized by progressive dysfunction and loss of rod and/or cone photoreceptors. The most common IRD is rod-cone degeneration (RCD, also known as retinitis pigmentosa), which starts with rod photoreceptor cell loss and eventually can lead to cone photoreceptor dysfunction and death. Thus, RCD initially manifests with loss of peripheral vision and night blindness and can lead to central vision loss as well. RCD is genetically heterogeneous with mutations in over 90 genes that have been so far associated with this disease. Recently, TBC1D32 has been proposed as a novel recessive RCD gene, as rare bi-allelic pathogenic variants were found in three unrelated European families. In this report, we describe a fourth RCD family of European descent carrying two novel mutations in TBC1D32, thus providing secondary evidence for this recent association.
