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

backgroundStriate palmoplantar keratoderma (SPPK; OMIM #148700) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by linear hyperkeratosis on the digits and hyperkeratosis on the palms and soles. SPPK is known to be caused by heterozygous mutations in either the desmoglein 1 (DSG1), desmoplakin (DSP), or keratin 1 (KRT1) genes.

objectiveTo define the molecular basis of SPPK in five Pakistani families showing a clear autosomal dominant inheritance pattern of SPPK.

methodsBased on previous reports of DSG1 mutations in SPPK, we performed direct sequencing of the DSG1 gene of all five families.

resultsMutation analysis resulted in the identification of one recurrent mutation (p.R26X) and four novel mutations (c.Ivs4-2A>G, c.515C>T, c.Ivs9-3C>G, and c.1399delA) in the DSG1 gene. Each mutation is predicted to cause haploinsufficiency of DSG1 protein.

conclusionThe results of our study further underscore the significance of the desmoglein gene family in diseases of epidermal integrity.
