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

Stargardt disease (STGD), predominantly caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene, is a leading cause of inherited retinal degeneration. Although several lines of mice expressing disease-causing variants have been produced, mice due to the lack of macular may not be the perfect model to mimic the characteristics of STGD. To address this knowledge gap, we generated retinal organoids from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harboring ABCA4 mutations and performed biological validation. The generated retinal organoids were subjected to single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) at major developmental stages (40, 90, 150, 200, and 260 days), and we additionally compared the transcriptomics with our recently published control retinal organoids to further confirm the reliability of the dataset. By using iPSCs carrying most common variant in Chinese STGD patients, the dataset not only provides a powerful resource for studying STGD, but also offers novels insight into the developmental mechanisms underlying ABCA4-associated pathological changes in the retinal organoid system.
