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

We report an 8-year-old boy with a complex cerebral malformation, intellectual disability, and complex partial seizures. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a yet unreported de novo variant in the PIK3R2 gene that was recently associated with megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus (MPPH) syndrome and bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria (BPP). Our patient showed cerebral abnormalities (megalencephaly, perisylvian polymicrogyria, and mega corpus callosum) that were consistent with these conditions. Imaging also showed right temporal anomalies suggestive of cortical dysplasia. Until now, only three variants (c.1117G>A (p.(G373R)), c.1126A>G (p.(K376E)) and c.1202T>C (p.(L401P))) affecting the SH2 domain of the PIK3R2 protein have been reported in MPPH and BPP syndromes. In contrast to the variants reported so far, the patient described herein exhibits the c.1669G>C (p.(D557H)) variant that affects a highly conserved residue at the interface with the PI3K catalytic subunit α. The phenotypic spectrum associated with variants in this gene and its pathway are likely to continue to expand as more cases are identified.
