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

purposeTo screen mutations in the fibrillin-1 (FBN1) gene in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome (MFS).

methodsPatients and unaffected family members were given ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and physical examinations with a 5-year follow-up. Genomic DNA was extracted from the leukocytes of venous blood from all patients and their relatives. The entire coding region of the FBN1gene was screened with an ABI 9700 GeneAmp PCR System. The mutation identified was screened in 100 healthy and ethnically unrelated Chinese individuals.

resultsMutation screening in FBN1 identified a T>G transition at position c.1786 in exon 14, leading to substitution of cysteine for glycine at codon 596 (C596G) in this four-generation Chinese family. The C596G mutation was associated with the disease phenotypes in all six patients but not found in 14 unaffected family members or the 100 ethnically unrelated and healthy controls.

conclusionsA C596G mutation in FBN1 was identified in a Chinese family with MFS. Our results expand the spectrum of FBN1 mutations and contribute to the understanding of the role of FBN1 in the pathogenesis of Marfan syndrome.
