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

introductionSilver-Russell syndrome (SRS; also know as Russell-Silver syndrome) is a heterogeneous syndrome which is characterised by severe intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation and typical dysmorphic features. Recently, the first SRS patients with (epi)genetic mutations in 11p15 affecting the telomeric imprinting domain have been identified. Interestingly, opposite mutations are associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS). However, the general significance of epigenetic mutations in 11p15 for the aetiology of SRS remained unclear.

methodsWe screened a cohort of 51 SRS patients for epimutations in ICR1 and KCNQ1OT1 by methylation sensitive Southern blot analyses.

resultsICR1 demethylation could be observed in 16 of the 51 SRS patients, corresponding to a frequency of approximately 31%. Changes in methylation at the KCNQ1OT1 locus were not detected. DISCUSSION: Combining these data with those on maternal duplications in 11p15, nearly 35% of SRS cases are associated with detectable (epi)genetic disturbances in 11p15. We now have to also consider a general involvement of 11p15 alterations in growth retarded patients with only minor or without further dysmorphic features. SRS and BWS may now be regarded as two diseases caused by opposite (epi)genetic disturbances of the same chromosomal region displaying opposite clinical pictures.
