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

Mutations of Jagged 1 (JAG1), a ligand in the Notch signaling pathway, cause Alagille syndrome (AGS). AGS is an autosomal dominant, multisystem disorder with variable expressivity, characterized by bile duct paucity and resultant liver disease in combination with cardiac, ocular, skeletal, and facial findings. JAG1 mutations in AGS include gene deletions and protein truncating, splicing, and missense mutations, suggesting that haploinsufficiency is the mechanism of disease causation. With limited exceptions, there is no genotype-phenotype correlation. We have studied a JAG1 missense mutation (JAG1-G274D) that was previously identified in 13 individuals from an extended family with cardiac defects of the type seen in patients with AGS (e.g., peripheral pulmonic stenosis and tetralogy of Fallot) in the absence of liver dysfunction. Our data indicate that this mutation is "leaky." Two populations of proteins are produced from this allele. One population is abnormally glycosylated and is retained intracellularly rather than being transported to the cell surface. A second population is normally glycosylated and is transported to the cell surface, where it is able to signal to the Notch receptor. The JAG1-G274D protein is temperature sensitive, with more abnormally glycosylated (and nonfunctional) molecules produced at higher temperatures. Carriers of this mutation therefore have >50% but <100% of the normal concentration of JAG1 molecules on the cell surface. The cardiac-specific phenotype associated with this mutation suggests that the developing heart is more sensitive than the developing liver to decreased dosage of JAG1.
