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

purposeWilliams syndrome (WS) is a multisystem neurodevelopmental disorder caused by microdeletions in 7q11.23. This study aimed to evaluate ophthalmic manifestations in Chinese children with WS.

methodsChildren diagnosed with WS were retrospectively recruited for the study. Clinical data were analyzed to obtain visual outcomes, optical biometry, and the incidence of different ocular manifestations.

resultsA total of 218 patients (134 males; 84 females) with Williams syndrome were included, with a median age of 4.15 (3.61) years. Refractive analysis revealed clinically significant refractive errors in 70.18% (153/218), comprising myopia in 28.44% (62/218), hyperopia in 5.50% (12/218), and astigmatism in 62.39% (136/218); anisometropia (≥ 1.00D) was present in 7.34% (16/218).Ocular biometry (154 patients, 308 eyes) showed mean axial length of 21.67 ± 0.90 mm and keratometry of 44.07 ± 1.66 D. Strabismus prevalence was 7.34% (16/218), predominantly esotropia (11/218, 5.05%). External examination identified bilateral congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in 46.79% (102/218), entropion in 25.23% (55/218), allergic conjunctivitis in 20.64% (45/218), and ptosis in 0.92% (2/218).

conclusionWS is a complex multisystem genetic disorder with diverse ophthalmic findings. Our study revealed a high incidence of refractive errors, dominated by astigmatism in WS patients.We observed shorter axial lengths compared to age-matched peers. Esotropia was the predominant form of strabismus. Nasolacrimal duct obstruction, entropion also occurred frequently.These ocular manifestations warrant early clinical attention in Chinese WS patients.
