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

Introduction: To report a Japanese family with inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) in which Methods: This retrospective case series included three brothers diagnosed with retinal dystrophy at Juntendo University Hospital. Comprehensive ophthalmic evaluations were performed, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Goldmann perimetry, fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and full-field electroretinogram (ERG). Genetic testing was conducted using next-generation sequencing with an IRD gene panel. Results: All three patients exhibited progressive visual decline with onset in their 40s-50s. Fundus examination revealed severe macular atrophy in two brothers (Cases 1 and 2), consistent with cone-rod dystrophy, whereas the youngest (Case 3) showed diffuse retinal degeneration with bone-spicule pigmentation resembling retinitis pigmentosa. FAF demonstrated hypoautofluorescence in the macula and hyperautofluorescence at the borders of atrophic areas in Cases 1 and 2, but widespread hypoautofluorescence in Case 3. ERG revealed rod-cone dysfunction in Cases 1 and 2 and non-recordable responses in Case 3. Genetic analysis identified a single heterozygous Conclusions: This study describes a Japanese family with IRD showing substantial intrafamilial phenotypic heterogeneity, ranging from macular-predominant cone-rod dystrophy to generalized rod-cone dystrophy, in the context of identified
