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

The forkhead transcription factor gene FOXC1 (formerly FKHL7) is responsible for a number of glaucoma phenotypes in families in which the disease maps to 6p25, although mutations have not been found in all families in which the disease maps to this region. In a large pedigree with iris hypoplasia and glaucoma mapping to 6p25 (peak LOD score 6.20 [recombination fraction 0] at D6S967), no FOXC1 mutations were detected by direct sequencing. However, genotyping with microsatellite repeat markers suggested the presence of a chromosomal duplication that segregated with the disease phenotype. The duplication was confirmed in affected individuals by FISH with markers encompassing FOXC1. These results provide evidence of gene duplication causing developmental disease in humans, with increased gene dosage of either FOXC1 or other, as yet unknown genes within the duplicated segment being the probable mechanism responsible for the phenotype.
