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

Phaeochromocytomas arising in adrenal or extra-adrenal sites and paragangliomas of the head and neck, in particular of the carotid bodies, occur sporadically and also in a familial setting. In addition to mutations in RET and VHL in familial disease, germline mutations in SDHD and SDHB genes that encode subunits of mitochondrial complex II have also been associated with the development of familial phaeochromocytomas. To further investigate the role of SDHD and SDHB in the development of these tumours we determined the occurrence of germline SDHD and SDHB mutations in four patients with a family history of phaeochromocytoma with associated head and neck paraganglioma, one patient with a family history of phaeochromocytoma only and two patients with apparently sporadic extra-adrenal phaeochromocytoma, one of whom had early onset disease. Secondly, we investigated whether somatic SDHB mutations correlated with loss of heterozygosity at 1p36 in a subgroup of 11 sporadic and three MEN 2-associated RET-mutation-positive phaeochromocytomas. Novel SDHB mutations were identified in the probands from four families and two apparently sporadic cases (six of seven probands studied), including two missense mutations, a single nonsense and frameshift mutation, as well as two splice site mutations, one of which was shown to have partial penetrance resulting in 'leaky' splicing. Further, five intronic polymorphisms in SDHB were found. No SDHD mutations were identified. In addition, no somatic SDHB mutations were found in the remaining allele of the 11 sporadic adrenal phaeochromocytomas with allelic loss at 1p36 or the three MEN 2-associated RET-mutation-positive phaeochromocytomas. Therefore, we conclude that SDHB has a major role in the pathogenesis of familial phaeochromocytomas, but the possible role of SDHB in sporadic tumours showing allelic loss at 1p36 has yet to be ascertained.
