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

We report on three patients with Costello syndrome (CS) diagnosed during the first year of life and try to outline the clinical characteristics facilitating early recognition of this syndrome, which can now be corroborated by testing the HRAS gene. Phenotypical overlap of CS with Noonan (NS) and cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS), particularly in neonatal age, is well known. Diagnostic features useful for recognition of CS in the first year of life are the following: (1) fetal and neonatal macrosomia with subsequent slow growth due to severe feeding difficulties, (2) developmental delay, (3) particularly coarse facial dysmorphisms and gingival hyperplasia, (4) skeletal anomalies as osteoporosis and metaphyseal enlargement, (5) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with asymmetric septal thickening and systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve, and (6) specific atrial arrhythmias. Following a clinical suspect of CS based on specific features, molecular screening of HRAS gene mutations should precede analysis of the other genes in the Ras-MAPK pathway implicated in related disorders with overlapping phenotypes.
