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

objectiveTo determine the genetic cause of Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) in 2 families segregating DRS as a dominant trait.

methodsMembers of 2 unrelated pedigrees were enrolled in a genetic study. Linkage analysis was performed on the CHN1 locus. Probands and family members were screened for CHN1 mutations.

resultsThe 6 affected individuals in the 2 pedigrees have DRS. Both pedigrees are consistent with linkage to the locus. Sequence analysis revealed 2 novel heterozygous missense CHN1 mutations, c.422C>T and c.754C>T, predicted to result in α2-chimaerin amino acid substitutions P141L and P252S, respectively.

conclusionsGenetic analysis of 2 pedigrees revealed 2 novel DRS mutations, bringing the number of DRS pedigrees known to harbor CHN1 from 7 to 9. Both mutations alter residues that participate in intramolecular interactions that stabilize the inactive, closed conformation of α2-chimaerin and, thus, are predicted to result in its hyperactivation. Moreover, amino acid residue P252 was previously reported to be altered to a different residue in a previously reported DRS pedigree; thus, this is the first report of 2 CHN1 mutations altering the same residue, further supporting a gain-of-function etiology. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Members of families segregating DRS as an autosomal dominant trait should be screened for mutations in the CHN1 gene, enhancing genetic counseling and permitting earlier diagnosis.
