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

Interstitial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 17 was detected in three patients. They all had a similar phenotype with mental retardation, behavioural problems, facial dysmorphism, brachycephaly, a broad face with a flat midface, and short and broad hands. All three cases were ascertained over a six month period by two neuropaediatricians aware of this specific anomaly, which suggests that this microdeletion is not particularly rare. Comparison of the clinical and cytogenetic findings in a total of 24 patients allows a new contiguous gene syndrome to be defined that only high resolution analysis can detect. In two cases, molecular analysis confirmed the cytogenetic results. The Charcot-Marie-Tooth type Ia gene has recently been localised to the 17p11.2 sub-band.
