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 case of a 15-year-old male with Angelman syndrome, paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 15, and a small supernumerary marker chromosome is discussed. Assessment of cognitive functioning revealed an uneven profile of ability across different domains; in particular, receptive language ability was found to be superior to expressive language ability, whilst both gross and fine motor skills were found to be relatively well developed. Assessment using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule showed very little evidence of autistic symptomatology. The patient showed an interest in social interaction and used a variety of methods to communicate, including some gestures and several single words. A clinical history revealed febrile convulsions during childhood but an absence of seizures in the previous 5 years. The patient was not hypopigmented, and height, weight, and head circumference were within the normal range for his age. The implications of these features are discussed in the context of previous work describing a milder phenotype in nondeletion cases of Angelman syndrome and work that has examined the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders amongst individuals with Angelman syndrome.
