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

Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is a complex developmental defect characterized by the absence of enteric ganglia in the gastrointestinal tract. Although the genetic defect of enteric nervous system (ENS) was identified to play a critical role in the progress of HSCR, the systemic genetic dissection of HSCR still needs to be clarified. In this study, we firstly performed exome sequencing of two HSCR patients from a Han Chinese family, including the affected mother and son. After the initial quality filtering (coverage  ≥ 5X and SNP quality score ≥ 40) of the raw data, we identified 13,948 and 13,856 single nucleotide variants (SNVs), respectively. We subsequently compared the SNVs against public databases (dbSNP130, HapMap, and 1000 Genome Project) and obtained a total of 15 novel nonsynonymous SNVs in 15 genes, which were shared between these two patients. Follow-up Sanger sequencing and bioinformatics analysis highlighted variant c.853G>A (p.E285K) in NRG3, a gene involved in the development of ENS. In the validation phase, we sequenced all nine exons of NRG3 in 96 additional sporadic HSCR cases and 110 healthy individuals and identified another nonsynonymous variant c.1329G>A (p.M443I) and two synonymous variants c.828G>A (p.T276T) and c.1365T>A (p.P455P) only in the cases. Our results indicated that NRG3 may be a susceptibility gene for HSCR in a Chinese population.
