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

A locus on chromosome 1p34-36 (DYX8) has been linked to developmental dyslexia or reading disabilities (RD) in three independent samples. In the current study, we investigated a candidate gene KIAA0319-Like (KIAA0319L) within DYX8, as it is homologous to KIAA0319, a strong RD candidate gene on chromosome 6p (DYX2). Association was assessed by using five tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms in a sample of 291 nuclear families ascertained through a proband with reading difficulties. Evidence of association was found for a single marker (rs7523017; P=0.042) and a haplotype (P=0.031), with RD defined as a categorical trait in a subset of the sample (n=156 families) with a proband that made our criteria for RD. The same haplotype also showed evidence for association with quantitative measures of word-reading efficiency (i.e., a composite score of word identification and decoding; P=0.032) and rapid naming of objects and colors (P=0.047) when analyzed using the entire sample. Although the results from the current study are modestly significant and would not withstand a correction for multiple testing, KIAA0319L remains an intriguing positional and functional candidate for RD, especially when considered alongside the supporting evidence for its homolog KIAA0319 on chromosome 6p. Additional studies in independent samples are now required to confirm these findings.
