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

Autosomal dominant nonautoimmune hyperthyroidism (ADNAH) is caused by gain of function mutations in the TSH receptor (TSHr) gene and characterized by toxic thyroid hyperplasia with a variable age of onset in the absence of thyroid antibodies and clinical symptoms of autoimmune thyroid disease in at least two generations. We report here a Turkish family with a novel TSHr gene mutation with distinct features all consistent with ADNAH. Thyroid function tests of the proband were as follows: free T3: 13.1 pg/ml (N: 1.8-4.6); free T4: 5.1 ng/dl (N: 0.9-1.7); TSH: 0.01 microIU/ml (N: 0.2-4.2); and TSH receptor antibody: 2 IU/ml (N: 0-10). A heterozygous missense mutation in exon 10 of the TSHr gene (c.1454C>T) resulting in the substitution of valine for alanine at codon 485 (p.Ala485Val) was found in the father and his son and daughter. This mutation had arisen de novo in the father. Functional studies of the novel TSHr germline mutation demonstrated a higher constitutive activation of adenyl cyclase than wild type without any effect on phospholipase C activity. In conclusion, our data indicate that gain of function germline mutations in the TSHr gene should be investigated in families with members suffering from thyrotoxicosis and progressive growth of goiter, but without clinical and biochemical evidence of autoimmune thyroid disease. In addition, patients harboring the same mutation of the TSHr gene may show wide phenotypic variability with respect to the age at onset, and severity of hyperthyroidism and thyroid growth.
