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

Lissencephaly comprises a heterogeneous group of developmental brain disorders of varying severity, involving abnormal cortical gyration. We studied a highly consanguineous Israeli Moslem family with a lethal form of autosomal recessive lissencephaly with cerebellar hypoplasia (LCH). Using microarray-based homozygosity mapping in the reported family, combined with whole exome sequencing in one affected infant, we identified a homozygous splice site mutation g.IVS8+1G>A in cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), causing complete skipping of exon 8, and leading to a frame shift and premature stop codon (p.V162SfsX19). The mutation co-segregated with the disease phenotype in all 29 study participants (4 patients and 25 healthy relatives), and was not identified in 200 ethnically matched control chromosomes. The p.V162SfsX19 mutation causes lack of endogenous CDK5 expression in affected dermal fibroblasts and brain tissue at the mRNA and protein levels, consistent with nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Functional analysis of the p.V162SfsX19 mutation, using a yeast complementation assay, showed loss-of-function of the mutant CDK5 gene product, thereby implicating its role in the pathogenesis of autosomal recessive LCH in the studied family.
