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

backgroundMicrodeletions at 17q11.2 often encompass NF1 gene, is the cause for NF1 microdeletion syndrome. Microdeletion at 17q11.2 without the involvement of NF1 gene is rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we reported a patient carrying a novel de novo deletion at 17q11.2 adjacent to NF1 gene, who presented with developmental delay, short stature, postnatal microcephaly, underweight and dysmorphic features including flat facial profile, dolicocephaly, hypertelorism, short philtrum, flat nasal bridge and posteriorly rotated and low set ears. Chromosomal microarray analysis revealed a 1.69 Mb de novo deletion at 17q11.2 adjacent to NF1 gene, which involves 43 RefSeq genes. We compared this with four overlapping deletions at this interval.

conclusionsA rare de novo microdeletion at 17q11.2 not involving NF1 gene is associated with developmental delay and dysmorphic features. Seven genes, TAOK1, PHF12, NUFIP2, SLC26A4, SEZ6, GIT1 and TRAF4 are possible candidates for the clinical features of our patient. The delineation of this rare deletion and description of associated clinical phenotypes will help to understand the genotype-phenotype correlation of genomic imbalances at this locus.
