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

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a highly heritable neurological disorder that is prevalent in school-aged children. The dyslexia-associated gene DCDC2 is a member of the DCX family of genes known to play roles in neurogenesis, neuronal migration, and differentiation. However, the associations between DCDC2 genetic variations and dyslexia have yielded inconclusive results. Clarifying the effects of DCDC2 polymorphisms on dyslexia risk will advance not only elucidation of the role of DCDC2 in the brain development but also development of possible therapeutic approach for dyslexia. In this review, we summarized the ongoing association studies concerning DCDC2 polymorphisms and dyslexia risk by using meta-analysis and revealed that DCDC2 rs807701 might contribute significantly to dyslexia risk.
