Incomplete penetrance of CD46 mutation causing familial atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundHemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) secondary to homozygous mutations in CD46 is uncommon. While heterozygous individuals may remain asymptomatic, homozygous mutations with severely depleted CD46 surface expression without disease manifestation is rare.
methodsWe report on two siblings with features suggestive of hemolytic uremic syndrome. Estimation of CD46 expression by flow cytometry and gene sequencing were performed in members of this family.
resultsThree siblings, two of whom were symptomatic, had markedly decreased (<10%) cell surface expression of CD46 and homozygous splice site mutation (IVS2 + 2 T > G) in the CD46 gene; the other 10-year-old sibling was asymptomatic. The illness was preceded by dengue shock syndrome in the index case. Both parents and two other siblings were heterozygous for this CD46 mutation.
conclusionsHomozygous IVS2 + 2 T > G mutation in CD46 gene, similar to heterozygous mutation, may be clinically silent at least during childhood. The role of antecedent infections in triggering the disease requires further examination.
