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

Central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD) is a retinal disease which causes progressive profound loss of vision in patients during middle age. The disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and shows genetic heterogeneity. Mutations in the peripherin-RDS gene on chromosome 6 have been reported in affected members of families transmitting the disease. A new locus at chromosome 17p13 was identified recently by a genome wide linkage search in members of a large Northern Irish family. We now report the refinement of the critical region for this gene to an interval of approximately 5 cM flanked by polymorphic markers D17S1810 and CHLC GATA7B03.
