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 spontaneous de novo mutation is a new mutation appeared in a child that neither the parent carries. Recent studies suggest that recurrent de novo loss-of-function mutations identified in patients with sporadic autism spectrum disorder (ASD) play a key role in the etiology of the disorder. POGZ is one of the most recurrently mutated genes in ASD patients. Our laboratory and other groups have recently found that POGZ has at least 18 independent de novo possible loss-of-function mutations. Despite the apparent importance, these mutations have never previously been assessed via functional analysis.

methodsUsing wild-type, the Q1042R-mutated, and R1008X-mutated POGZ, we performed DNA-binding experiments for proteins that used the CENP-B box sequence in vitro. Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post hoc tests.

resultsThis study reveals that ASD-associated de novo mutations (Q1042R and R1008X) in the POGZ disrupt its DNA-binding activity.

conclusionsHere, we report the first functional characterization of de novo POGZ mutations identified in sporadic ASD cases. These findings provide important insights into the cellular basis of ASD.
