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

Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a rare and typically nonprogressive group of genetically heterogeneous disorders resulting in impaired night vision and high myopia with varying levels of visual impairment. Despite being a rare disease with a prevalence of 1:294,000, variants in 22 genes have been associated with specific CSNB phenotypes. Approximately, 13% of cases remain without a genetic diagnosis, highlighting the importance of ongoing genetic studies. Clinical and diagnostic information was collected retrospectively from patients who were diagnosed with CSNB. Patients underwent full ophthalmic examination, including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, retinal imaging, and full field electroretinography. All patients underwent panel-based genetic testing for complete and incomplete CSNB genes to identify DNA variants from buccal swab samples. In the 49-patient cohort (from 38 families) with complete and incomplete CSNB, a conclusive molecular diagnosis was found in 30 patients (61.2%) with a known disease-causing variant in a CSNB gene. We identified 21 novel variants in five genes (
