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: This study aimed to report the clinical characteristics, genetic findings, and treatment outcomes of a Chinese patient with Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome (BBSOAS) caused by a mutation in the NR2F1 gene. Method: A retrospective chart review was conducted, including the patient's medical history, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalogram (EEG), and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) test results. A detailed ophthalmic examination was recorded, including gaze following, fundus photography, flash-electroretinogram (f-ERG), and flash visual evoked potential (f-VEP). Genetic sequencing results from whole-exome sequencing (WES) were collected. Result: The patient was an approximately 5-6 years old boy admitted to the hospital due to developmental delay and poor gaze following. Brain MRI revealed a cerebellar cyst, and EEG showed abnormal waveforms. BAEP indicated bilateral auditory conduction pathway impairment. Severe exotropia and optic nerve atrophy were observed in both eyes. f-ERG analysis revealed a moderate-to-severe decrease of dark-adapted (DA) amplitude in the right eye and a mild-to-moderate decrease in the left eye. WES identified a Conclusion: Our report demonstrated the pathogenicity of a variant in the NR2F1 gene, which was previously classified as a variant of uncertain significance or as a likely pathogenic variant, along with a detailed phenotypic characterization. The clinical features and treatment outcomes described here may expand the spectrum of known NR2F1 variants and serve as a reference for understanding this rare disease.
