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 molecular basis of familial ichthyosis in three Omani families. SUBJECTS AND

methodsNine patients from three consanguineous families, A, B, and C, were born with typical features of lamellar ichthyosis subtype including collodion membrane and maintained ectropion, and epidermal scaling through their childhood. The 4 patients from family B had more severe symptoms requiring neonatal critical care and subsequent regular treatment with emollients, eye lubricants, and low-dose acitretin. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood by standard methods. The samples were initially genotyped to screen known loci linked to recessive ichthyosis on chromosomes 2q33-32 (ABCA12), 14q11 (TGM1), and 19p12-q12 using commercially supplied polymorphic fluorescent microsatellite markers. TGM1 was analyzed by direct sequencing for disease-associated mutations.

resultsTwo known pathogenic mutations in TGM1 were detected: p.Gly278Arg in families A and B and p.Arg396His in family C. These two mutations were segregating in an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.

conclusionTwo known pathogenic TGM1 mutations were detected in three large consanguineous Omani families with lamellar ichthyosis. This study confirmed the geographic distribution of known mutations to an apparently unrelated population.
