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

backgroundA highly variable phenotype characterized by thyroid, respiratory and neurological defects has been reported in an already established group of disorders namely NKX2.1-related disorders. We describe here the case of an infant with a novel mutation of the NKX2.1 gene characterized by mild clinical presentation. Aim of the study was to elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlation in our patient.

methodsWe performed genetic analysis of the NKX2.1 gene in an infant with no neonatal respiratory distress and near-normal results at neonatal screening test for congenital hypothyroidism, choreoathetosis, ataxia and delayed independent walking.

resultsA novel mutation of the NKX2.1 gene has been identified, that is responsible for a mild framework of congenital hypothyroidism and neurological symptoms.

conclusionsThe frequency of congenital hypothyroidism cases associated with NKX2.1 mutations is expected to be higher in a subgroup of patients, selected according to the neurological presentation. In these patients the analysis of NKX2.1 mutational status is recommended.
