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

Stickler syndrome (SS) is a collagenopathy characterized by arthropathy and vitreoretinopathy with high myopia and cleft palate as common features. In a family with an autosomal recessive SS that does not map to genes known to cause autosomal recessive forms of SS, we combined autozygome and exome analysis to identify a novel missense variant in LOXL3 as the likely candidate cause. LOXL3 cross-links collagen II and its morphants phenocopy the craniofacial defects characteristic of collagen XI deficiency. We propose LOXL3 as a novel candidate gene for autosomal recessive SS.
