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: To document the time course of visual sensitivity loss in dark-adapted visual fields (DAVF). To explore longitudinal relationships between DAVF measured using two-color dark-adapted chromatic and rod function from electroretinogram (ERG) and full-field stimulus testing in the RUSH2A study. Methods: Full-field rod mean sensitivity, number of rod loci, maximum sensitivity, DAVF V30 were measured in one eye for DAVF ancillary study participants at the RUSH2A 12-month, 24-month, 36-month and 48-month visits. Loci where cyan relative to red sensitivity was greater than 5 dB on dark-adapted chromatic perimetry were considered rod mediated. Correlation coefficients (r) between changes in DAVF measures with changes in standard clinical measures were estimated. Results: Among 38 participants with evidence of rod function, the annual rate of loss (outlier down-weighted) of DAVF mean sensitivity and total volume were -1.08 dB/year and -2.8 dB-sr/year, respectively. Change in full-field rod mean sensitivity was highly correlated with change in DA 0.01 ERG (r = 0.79; P = 0.049). Younger participants showed greater change over time in DAVF measures. Conclusions: Average yearly change in mean DAVF measures was comparable with the annual change on full-field stimulus testing and faster than in cone-mediated measures. Two-color DAVFs identified rod-mediated function in the majority of patients with USH2A mutations, even though many showed no evidence of rod ERG function.
