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

Biallelic pathogenic variants of the Reticulon 4 interacting protein 1 (RTN4IP1) gene are responsible for optic atrophy, either isolated or associated with ataxia, mental retardation, and seizures. They are identified as a cause of hereditary optic neuropathy in 7% of patients diagnosed before the age of 20. We have built a dataset for this gene by collating all the clinical cases available in the literature, and unpublished patients diagnosed at our centre, using standard nomenclature to describe both the molecular and phenotypic features. We performed a comprehensive data analysis, based on computational reasoning, to provide an overall picture of the dataset and validate its relevance. This new dataset provides an updated genetic map of the reported pathogenic variants, an ontological annotation of phenotypic abnormalities in a grid format showing clinical heterogeneity, and a full interoperability with the databases of other genetic forms of optic neuropathies.
