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

Cardiomyopathies are common disorders resulting in heart failure; the most frequent form is dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), which is characterized by dilatation of the left or both ventricles and impaired systolic function. DCM causes considerable morbidity and mortality, and is one of the major causes of sudden cardiac death. Although about one-third of patients are reported to have a genetic form of DCM, reported mutations explain only a minority of familial DCM. Moreover, the recessive neonatal isolated form of DCM has rarely been associated with a mutation. In this study, we present the association of a mutation in the SDHA gene with recessive neonatal isolated DCM in 15 patients of two large consanguineous Bedouin families. The cardiomyopathy is presumably caused by the significant tissue-specific reduction in SDH enzymatic activity in the heart muscle, whereas substantial activity is retained in the skeletal muscle and lymphoblastoid cells. Notably, the same mutation was previously reported to cause a multisystemic failure leading to neonatal death and Leigh's syndrome. This study contributes to the molecular characterization of a severe form of neonatal cardiomyopathy and highlights extreme phenotypic variability resulting from a specific missense mutation in a nuclear gene encoding a protein of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
