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 association of uniparental disomy (UPD) and short stature has been reported for different chromosomes and in several conditions. Therefore, we investigated a cohort of 21 patients referred because of intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation for UPD of chromosomes 2, 7, 9, 14, 16, and 20. Typing of short tandem repeats showed maternal UPD(14) and maternal UPD(20) in two cases. In the first case, an interstitial UPD(14) was detected and the growth retarded newborn showed some additional clinical signs in common with the putative "maternal UPD(14) syndrome". The maternal UPD(20) patient showed minor features. However, since it is only the second maternal UPD(20) case it is too early to delineate a specific syndrome and the role of this constitution in growth remains to be investigated. Our data suggest that searching for UPD in growth retarded patients is a helpful approach to getting more information on the role of UPD in growth retardation. Based on our results, general considerations and indications for UPD testing are discussed.
