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

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant syndrome caused by germline mutations in the synonymous VHL gene encoding a tumor suppressor. Affected individuals are susceptible to various benign and malignant tumors. Based on the phenotypes, VHL disease is classified as type 1 and type 2. Here, we describe a Chinese family diagnosed as VHL disease type 2, with different metabolic status of tumors on FDG PET-CT. Genetic analysis revealed a germline c.264G>A point mutation, resulting in premature termination at codon 88 (p.W88X). This pedigree represents a rare link between p.W88X nonsense mutation (genotype) and VHL disease type 2 (phenotype), which has not been previously described. This is also the first nonsense mutation to manifest as VHL disease type 2 in ethnic Chinese. We also reviewed the literature and provided an outline of mutations associated with VHL disease in China.
