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

We describe a three-generation Norwegian family with a novel X-linked intellectual disability (XLID) syndrome characterized by subtle facial dysmorphism, autism and severe feeding problems. By exome sequencing we detected a rare missense variant (c.1067A>G, p.(Tyr356Cys)) in the RLIM gene, in two affected male second cousins. Sanger sequencing confirmed the presence of the variant in the four affected males (none of whom were siblings) and in three mothers available for testing. The variant was not present in 100 normal Norwegian controls, has not been reported in variant databases and is deleterious according to in silico prediction tools. The clinical phenotype and the variant co-segregate, yielding a LOD score of 3.0 for linkage to the shared region (36.09 Mb), which contains 242 genes. No other shared rare variants on the X chromosome were detected in the two affected exome-sequenced individuals, and all female carriers had an extremely skewed X-chromosome inactivation pattern. RLIM encodes RING zinc finger protein 12 (RNF12), an ubiquitin ligase that is essential for X inactivation in mice and that acts as a co-regulator of a range of transcription factors, particularly those containing a LIM homeodomain. Tyrosine in position 356 in RNF12 is located within a highly conserved domain essential for binding such transcription factors. Expression of RNF12 is widespread during embryogenesis, and is particularly high in the outer layers of the cerebral cortex. Functional studies are needed to prove a definite causal relationship between the variant and the phenotype. Subsequent reports may confirm a role for RLIM variants in patients with XLID.
