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.

Abstract

Distal spinal muscular atrophy type 1 (DSMA1) is caused by mutations in the immunoglobulin mu-binding protein 2 (IGHMBP2) gene. Patients with DSMA1 present between 6 weeks and 6 months of age with progressive muscle weakness and respiratory failure due to diaphragmatic palsy. Contrary to this "classic" infantile disease, we have previously described a DSMA1 patient with juvenile disease onset. In this paper, we present (1) a second juvenile case and (2) the first study of DSMA1 on protein level in patients with infantile (n = 3) as well as juvenile (n = 2) disease onset observing elevated residual steady-state IGHMBP2 protein levels in the patients with late onset DSMA1 as compared to those with classic DSMA1. Mutation screening in IGHMBP2 revealed two patients compound heterozygous for a novel missense mutation (c.1478C-->T; p.T493I) and another previously described mutation. In lymphoblastoid cells of both patients, steady-state IGHMBP2 protein levels were reduced. In comparison to wild-type IGHMBP2, the p.T493I variant protein had an increased tendency to aggregate and spontaneously degrade in vitro. We verified a change in the physicochemical properties of the p.T493I variant which may explain the pathogenicity of this mutation. Our data further suggest that the age of onset of DSMA1 is variable, and we discuss the effect of residual IGHMBP2 protein levels on the clinical course and the severity of the disease.
