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

purposeJacobsen syndrome, also called the 11q terminal deletion disorder, is a contiguous gene disorder caused by the deletion of the end of the long arm of chromosome 11. Intellectual skills range from low average to severe/profound intellectual disability and usually correlate with deletion size. Comprehensive genotype/phenotype evaluations are limited, and little is known about specific behavioral characteristics associated with 11q terminal deletion disorder.

methodsIn this prospective study, 17 patients with 11q terminal deletion disorder underwent cognitive and behavioral assessments. Deletion sizes were determined by array comparative genomic hybridization.

resultsDeletion sizes ranged from 8.7 to 14.5 Mb across the patients. We found that 8 of 17 patients (47%) exhibited behavioral characteristics consistent with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. There was no correlation between deletion size and the presence of autism spectrum disorder, implicating at least one predisposing gene in the distal 8.7 Mb of 11q. The findings from three additional patients with autistic features and "atypical" distal 11q deletions led to the identification of an autism "critical region" in distal 11q containing four annotated genes including ARHGAP32 (also known as RICS), a gene encoding rho GTPase activating protein.

conclusionResults from this study support early autism spectrum disorder screening for patients with 11q terminal deletion disorder and provide further molecular insights into the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder.
