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: Norrie disease is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by congenital blindness, with approximately one-third of patients developing progressive sensorineural hearing loss and neurodevelopmental abnormalities. While over 200 pathogenic variants in the Case Presentation: We report a 33-year-old Chinese male who presented with acute hydrops of the right cornea as the initial clinical manifestation leading to the diagnosis of Norrie disease. Comprehensive ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral keratoconus (right eye with acute Descemet's membrane rupture), spherophakia, shallow anterior chambers, and characteristic grayish-white fibrovascular masses in the vitreous cavity. Whole-genome sequencing identified a novel hemizygous mutation in Conclusion: This represents, to our knowledge, the first report of Norrie disease presenting with acute keratoconus (hydrops) as the initial diagnostic manifestation in an undiagnosed adult. The novel p. Ser47_Ile48delinsPheLeu mutation expands both the mutational spectrum of
