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

Werner syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive premature aging syndrome characterized by its development after puberty and death in patients in their 50s due to cancer or atherosclerotic disease. Early diagnosis can improve the management of disease, quality of life and prolong the lifespan of patients with Werner syndrome. Ophthalmologists should include Werner syndrome in the general work-up in patients with bilateral early-onset cataracts. We present a case of Werner syndrome with initial signs of juvenile cataracts. The patient had a high-pitched voice, a bird-like face and progeroid hair. We performed routine ophthalmological examinations including slit-lamp examinations, fundus examinations, and optical coherence tomography, and genetic analysis. The patient had plateau iris and pachychoroid-like features in addition to bilateral cataracts. The gene analysis revealed compound heterozygosity of
