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

Acrocallosal syndrome (ACLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by agenesis of the corpus callosum, facial dysmorphism, postaxial polydactyly of the hands as well as preaxial polydactyly of the feet, and developmental delay. Mutations in the KIF7 gene, encoding a molecule within the Sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway, have been identified as causative for ACLS but also for the fatal hydrolethalus syndrome and some cases of Joubert syndrome. We report here on a Tunisian boy who shows the clinical characteristics of ACLS and was found to have a novel homozygous KIF7 nonsense mutation. Further, we summarize the current knowledge about the clinical spectrum associated with KIF7 mutations as well as genetic and/or phenotypic overlap with ciliopathies and other mutations in the SHH pathway.
