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

Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare, autosomal-dominant or -recessive disorder characterized primarily by aplasia cutis congenita and terminal transverse limb defects. Recently, we demonstrated that homozygous mutations in DOCK6 cause an autosomal-recessive form of AOS. In this study, we sought to determine the contribution of DOCK6 mutations to the etiology of AOS in several consanguineous families. In two of the five families studied, we identified two homozygous truncating mutations (a splice-site mutation and a frameshift duplication). DOCK6 sequencing revealed no mutation in the remaining three families, consistent with their autozygosity mapping and linkage-analysis results, which revealed a single candidate locus in 3p14.1 on three different haplotype backgrounds in the three families. Indeed, exome sequencing in one family revealed one missense mutation in EOGT (C3orf64), and subsequent targeted sequencing of this gene revealed a homozygous missense mutation and a homozygous frameshift deletion mutation in the other two families. EOGT encodes EGF-domain-specific O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase, which is involved in the O-GlcNAcylation (attachment of O-GlcNAc to serine and threonine residues) of a subset of extracellular EGF-domain-containing proteins. It has a documented role in epithelial-cell-matrix interactions in Drosophila, in which deficiency of its ortholog causes wing blistering. Our findings highlight a developmental role of O-GlcNAcylation in humans and expand the genetic heterogeneity of autosomal-recessive AOS.
