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

Purpose: Members of a multigenerational Canadian family presented to an inherited retinal degeneration (IRD) clinic with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and sensorineural hearing loss, reminiscent of an Usher syndrome phenotype. Biallelic disease-causing variants in the known Usher syndrome genes were not identified. Therefore, we enrolled further family members in this study and examined whether other IRD gene variants could explain the phenotype in the family. Methods: Family members underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including best-corrected visual acuity, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, visual field testing, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, audiological examination, and genetic testing. Some patients also had autofluorescence imaging. Loss-of-function testing was initiated by antisense morpholino knockdown of Results: Multimodal clinical testing in affected patients revealed an autosomal dominant late-onset presentation of RP associated with progressive, bilateral sensorineural hearing loss that occurred in the second to third decades of life with no vestibular involvement. Panel-based genetic testing revealed a heterozygous c.1168C>T, p.Arg390Trp variant in the beta-tubulin 4B gene ( Conclusions: For the first time, we describe a multigenerational family with a
