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

In order to further elucidate the contribution of complex alleles to the wide phenotypic variability of cystic fibrosis (CF), we investigated the structure-function relationships of a severe CF-associated complex allele [p.S912L;p.G1244V]. To evaluate the contribution of each mutation to the phenotype, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutants were expressed in HeLa cells and analysed for protein processing and Cl- channel activity. Both p.G1244V and [p.S912L;p.G1244V] mutants had normal protein processing but markedly decreased Cl- channel activity compared with wild-type. Notably, the double mutant displayed a dramatic decrease in Cl- channel activity compared with p.G1244V (P<0.001). p.S912L had normal protein processing and no detectable impact on CFTR function. In other respects, the p.S912L variation was identified in compound heterozygosity with p.R709X in a healthy fertile man. Together, these data strongly support the view that p.S912L in isolation should be considered as a neutral variant but one that might significantly impair CFTR function when inherited in cis with another CFTR mutation. Our data also further document the contribution of complex alleles to the wide phenotypic variability of CF. The results of functional studies of such complex alleles in other genetic diseases are discussed.
