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

contextMutations that inactivate one allele of the gene encoding the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) cause autosomal dominant familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH), whereas homozygous mutations cause neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism.

objectiveWe describe the identification and biochemical characterization of a novel CASR gene mutation that caused apparent autosomal recessive FHH in an extended consanguineous kindred.

designThe study design involved direct sequence analysis of the CaSR gene, clinical and biochemical analyses of patients, and in vitro immunobiochemical studies of the mutant CaSR.

resultsA novel inactivating mutation (Q459R) was identified in exon 4 of both alleles of the CASR in the proband, who presented with asymptomatic hypercalcemia and hypocalciuria at age 2 yr. The proband's parents were heterozygous for the Q459R mutation consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance of FHH. Among 13 family members that were studied, eight subjects were heterozygous for the Q459R mutation and five had normal genotypes. All heterozygous subjects were asymptomatic and normocalcemic apart from one subject who was mildly hypercalcemic. The Q459R mutant CaSR was normally expressed at the cell membrane but retained only 30-50% of the calcium-dependent activity of the wild-type CaSR.

conclusionWe identified a novel loss-of-function Q459R mutation in the CASR gene that exhibits mildly reduced sensitivity to calcium and that is associated with apparent autosomal recessive transmission of FHH. This study demonstrates the importance of genetic testing in FHH to distinguish between de novo and inherited mutations of the CASR gene and assist in management decisions.
