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

Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 20 are rarely reported in the literature. We report a 2-year-old child with a 2.6 Mb deletion of 20q13.32-q13.33, detected by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization, who presented with poor growth, feeding difficulties, abnormal subcutaneous fat distribution with the lack of adipose tissue on clinical examination, facial dysmorphism and low bone mass. This report adds to rare publications describing constitutional aberrations of chromosome 20q, and adds further evidence to the fact that deletion of the GNAS complex may not always be associated with an Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy phenotype as described previously.
