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

We performed a whole genome linkage analysis in a three-generation south Indian family with multiple members affected with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). The maximum two-point LOD score obtained was 3.32 at recombination fraction (theta) = 0 for D2S2248. The highest multipoint score of 3.59 was observed for the genomic interval between D2S2322 and D2S2228 at the chromosomal region 2q33-q36. Proximal and distal boundaries of the critical genetic interval were defined by D2S116 and D2S2390, respectively. A 24-Mb haplotype was found to co-segregate with JME in the family. While any potentially causative variant in the functional candidate genes, SLC4A3, SLC23A3, SLC11A1 and KCNE4, was not detected, we propose to examine brain-expressed NRP2, MAP2, PAX3, GPR1, TNS1 and DNPEP, and other such positional candidate genes to identify the disease-causing gene for the disorder.
