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

Eyes shut homolog (EYS) is an eye-specific gene that encodes a protein essential for maintaining photoreceptor integrity. The aim of this study was to identify the parameters that characterize the clinical features of EYS-associated retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in patients carrying the c.2528G > A (p.Gly843Glu; G843E) variant. We retrospectively analyzed 127 Japanese patients carrying biallelic pathogenic variants in the EYS gene. To delineate the phenotypic impact of the hypomorphic G843E variant, the cohort was divided into the G843E group (n = 32) and the non-G843E group (n = 52). To account for age-related effects, clinical parameters—including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), Humphrey Field Analyzer mean deviation (MD), and ellipsoid zone (EZ) width—were compared between groups within the 40–60-year age range. The G843E group showed a significantly later age of disease onset (p = 0.0085), while BCVA and MD did not differ significantly between groups. Conversely, EZ width was significantly higher in the G843E group (p = 0.019), and multivariable logistic regression identified EZ width as the only statistically significant predictor of G843E variant presence (pseudo-R2 = 0.52). These results suggest that the G843E variant is associated with a milder clinical course, characterized by later onset and better preservation of photoreceptor structure. EZ width may serve as a key structural biomarker for genotype–phenotype correlations in EYS-RP.
