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

The maturation of human RET is adversely affected by a range of missense mutations found in patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR), a complex multigenic disease. Here we show that two N-terminal cadherin-like domains, CLD1 and CLD2 (CLD(1-2)), from human RET adopt a clam-shell arrangement distinct from that of classical cadherins. CLD1 structural elements and disulfide composition are unique to mammals, indicating an unexpected structural diversity within higher and lower vertebrate RET CLD regions. We identify two unpaired cysteines that predispose human RET to maturation impediments in the endoplasmic reticulum and establish a quantitative cell-based RET maturation assay that offers a biochemical correlate of HSCR disease severity. Our findings provide a key conceptual framework and means of testing and predicting genotype-phenotype correlations in HSCR.
