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

contextHypoparathyroidism (HP) is characterized by low PTH levels, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia. Heterozygous mutations in pre-pro-PTH or the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) cause some forms of autosomal dominant HP (AD-HP). Furthermore, homozygous mutations in glial cells missing B (GCMB) have been implicated in autosomal recessive HP (AR-HP). In most other HP patients, however, the molecular defect remains undefined.

objectiveOur objectives were to determine the genetic defect in the affected members of two unrelated families with AD-HP and define the underlying disease mechanism. SUBJECTS: Several family members affected by AD-HP were investigated. The proband in family A had low calcium detected on routine blood testing, whereas the proband in family B had symptomatic hypocalcemia.

methodsMutational analysis of the genes encoding pre-pro-PTH, CaSR, and GCMB was performed using PCR-amplified genomic DNA of the probands and other available members of each family. The identified GCMB mutants were characterized by Western blot analysis and luciferase reporter assay using DF-1 fibroblasts.

resultsTwo novel heterozygous mutations located in the last GCMB exon (c.1389delT and c.1399delC in families A and B, respectively) were identified that both lead to frame-shifts and replacement of the putative second transactivation domain within carboxyl-terminal region by unrelated amino acid sequence. The mutant GCMB proteins were well expressed, and both showed dose-dependent inhibition of the transactivation capacity of wild-type protein in luciferase reporter assays.

conclusionsThe dominant-negative effect observed in vitro for both GCMB mutations provides a plausible explanation for the impaired PTH secretion observed in the two unrelated families with AD-HP.
