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

Background/aim: The aim of the study was to analyze the genotype and phenotype characteristics of Turkish patients with a clinical diagnosis of Stargardt disease and to evaluate how collaboration between the departments of medical genetics and ophthalmology contributes to patient management. Materials and methods: The clinical findings, genetic testing workflow in the medical genetics department, and the genetic testing results of patients clinically diagnosed with Stargardt disease in the ophthalmology department were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The study included 50 patients from 46 families. The genetic test reports confirmed the clinical diagnosis of Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1) in 27 patients (54%), led to revision of the clinical diagnosis in five patients (10%), and were inconclusive in 18 patients (36%). A total of 26 pathogenic Conclusion: This study serves as a representative example of how genetic testing and a multidisciplinary approach can contribute to management of inherited eye diseases. It also reports three novel
