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

In approximately 20% of individuals with Kagami-Ogata syndrome (KOS14, MIM 608149), characterized by a bell-shaped thorax with coat-hanger configuration of the ribs, joint contractures, abdominal wall defects and polyhydramnios during the pregnancy, the syndrome is caused by a maternal deletion of the imprinted gene cluster in chromosome 14q32.2. Most deletions reported so far included one or both of the differentially methylated regions (DMRs) - DLK1/MEG3 IG-DMR and MEG3-DMR. We present two unrelated families with two affected siblings each, presenting with classical KOS14 due to maternally inherited microdeletions. Interestingly, all four patients have lived through to adulthood, even though mortality rates for patients with KOS14 due to a microdeletion are relatively high. In the first family, none of the DMRs is included in the deletion and the methylation status is identical to that of controls. Deletions that do not encompass the DMRs in this region are thus sufficient to elicit the full KOS14 phenotype. In the second family, a partially overlapping deletion including both DMRs and MEG3 was detected. In summary, we show that patients with KOS14 can live into adulthood, that causal deletions do not have to include the DMRs and that consequently a normal methylation pattern does not exclude KOS14.
