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

backgroundThrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome (TAR; MIM 274000) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder combining specific skeletal abnormalities with a reduced platelet count. TAR syndrome has been associated with the compound inheritance of an interstitial microdeletion in 1q21.1 and a low frequency noncoding RBM8A SNP.

resultsHere, we report on a patient with scapulo-humeral hypoplasia, bilateral radio-ulnar agenesis with intact thumbs, bilateral proximal positioning of the first metacarpal, bilateral fifth finger clinodactyly, bilateral radial deviation of the hands, and thrombocytopenia. Molecular studies showed compound heterozygosity for the 1q21.1 microdeletion and the RBM8A rs139428292 variant in hemizygous state, inherited from the father and the mother, respectively. A second aborted fetus presented TAR features and 1q21.1 microdeletion. DISCUSSION: The complex inheritance pattern resulted in reduced expression of Y14, the protein encoded by RBM8A, and a component of the core exon-junction complex (EJC) in platelets. Further studies are needed to explain how Y14 insufficiency and subsequent defects of the EJC could cause the skeletal, haematological and additional features of TAR syndrome. In this study, we discuss other factors that could influence the overall phenotype of patients affected by TAR syndrome.

conclusionIn this study, we discuss other factors that could influence the overall phenotype of patients affected by TAR syndrome.
