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

Fragile X-associated disorders are caused by a CGG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the 5'-untranslated region of the FMR1 gene. Expansion of the CGG trinucleotide repeats to >200 copies (that is, a full mutation) induces methylation of the FMR1 gene, with transcriptional silencing being the eventual outcome. Previous data have shown that FMR1 premutation carriers (individuals with 55-199 repeats) have increased FMR1 mRNA levels with decreased protein (fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP)) levels. However, the point at which this translational inefficiency occurs, given the increased transcription mechanism, has not yet been explored and remains to be elucidated. We examined the repeat length group, FMR1 transcript and FMRP levels in 74 males with a wide range of repeat lengths using analysis of covariance to better characterize this association. Results showed that the mean FMRP level among carriers with 80-89 repeats was significantly higher than the mean levels among lower (54-79) and higher (90-120) premutation carriers, in spite of the increasing transcript level with repeat length. Taken together, these results suggest that the 80-89-repeat group may lead to different properties that increase the efficiency of translation compared with other premutation repeat size groups.
