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

Most of the major clinical IRD) phenotypes are monogenic conditions and demonstrate classic Mendelian inheritance patterns. More than 300 genes have been implicated in IRDs, many of which are involved in phototransduction, the retinoid cycle, photoreceptor cell structure, structure and function of the connecting cilium, transcription factors, and RNA splicing (Fig. 58.1; Hamel 2014; Dias et al. 2018). Studies involving relatively large patient cohorts have documented 4798 discrete variants in 194 genes (Schneider et al. 2022). The majority of variants either alter one or more amino acid in sequence (missense mutations) or prematurely truncate proteins (nonsense mutations). Smaller percentages of mutations affect RNA splicing, start and stop codons, or control regions (Schneider et al. 2022).
