Review in Expert reviews in molecular medicine, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00375089 (Prader-Willi Syndrome and Early-onset Morbid Obesity Natural History Clinical Protocol), which is not on this map. Cited by 147 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that arises from lack of expression of paternally inherited genes known to be imprinted and located in the chromosome 15q11-q13 region. PWS is considered the most common syndromal cause of life-threatening obesity and is estimated at 1 in 10,000 to 20,000 individuals. A de novo paternally derived chromosome 15q11-q13 deletion is the cause of PWS in about 70% of cases, and maternal disomy 15 accounts for about 25% of cases. The remaining cases of PWS result either from genomic imprinting defects (microdeletions or epimutations) of the imprinting centre in the 15q11-q13 region or from chromosome 15 translocations. Here, we describe the clinical presentation of PWS, review the current understanding of causative cytogenetic and molecular genetic mechanisms, and discuss future directions for research.
