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

Sotos syndrome is characterized by overgrowth, a typical facial appearance, and learning difficulties. It is caused by heterozygous mutations, including deletions, of NSD1 located at chromosome 5q35. Here we report two unrelated cases of Sotos syndrome associated with nephrocalcinosis. One patient also had idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia. Genetic investigations revealed heterozygous deletions at 5q35 in both patients, encompassing NSD1 and SLC34A1 (NaPi2a). Mutations in SLC34A1 have previously been associated with hypercalciuria/nephrolithiasis. Our cases suggest a contiguous gene deletion syndrome including NSD1 and SLC34A1 and provide a potential genetic basis for idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia.
