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

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of hereditary human diseases that cause retinal degeneration and lead to eventual blindness. More than 25% of all RP cases in humans appear to be caused by dominant mutations in the gene encoding the visual pigment rhodopsin. The mechanism by which the mutant rhodopsin proteins cause dominant retinal degeneration is still unclear. Interestingly, the great majority of these mutants appear to produce misfolded rhodopsin. We now report the isolation and characterization of 13 rhodopsin mutations that act dominantly to cause retinal degeneration in Drosophila; four of these correspond to identical substitutions in human autosomal dominant RP patients. We demonstrate that retinal degeneration results from interference in the maturation of wild-type rhodopsin by the mutant proteins.
