A novel genetic locus for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy at chromosome 5q12-q14.
Article in Human genetics, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is a clinically well-defined, age-related common idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndrome with substantial genetic basis to its etiology. We report identification of a novel epilepsy locus at chromosome 5q12-q14 in a family exhibiting autosomal dominant form of juvenile myoclonic epilepsy from south India. The highest two-point LOD score of 3.3344 was obtained for the microsatellite markers D5S641 and D5S459 at 5q14. Centromeric and telomeric chromosomal boundaries of the locus were defined by D5S624 and D5S428, respectively. The 5q12-q14 locus encompasses about 25 megabases of the genomic region and harbours several candidate genes. Further work involving a detailed mutational analysis of the locus, to isolate the gene responsible for the epilepsy disorder in the family, shall help enhance our understanding of molecular basis of epilepsy disorders.
