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

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Dr. Harald Hirschsprung's death, there is a worldwide significant research effort toward identifying and understanding the role of genes and biochemical pathways involved in the pathogenesis as well as the use of new therapies for the disease harboring his name (Hirschsprung disease, HSCR). HSCR (aganglionic megacolon) is a frequent diagnostic and clinical challenge in perinatology and pediatric surgery, and a major cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction. HSCR is characterized by the absence of ganglia of the enteric nervous system, mostly in the distal gastrointestinal tract. This review focuses on current understanding of genes and pathways associated with HSCR and summarizes recent knowledge related to micro RNAs (miRNAs) and HSCR pathogenesis. While commonly sporadic, Mendelian patterns of inheritance have been described in syndromic cases with HSCR. Although only half of the patients with HSCR have mutations in specific genes related to early embryonic development, recent pathway-based analysis suggests that gene modules with common functions may be associated with HSCR in different populations. This comprehensive profile of functional gene modules may serve as a useful resource for future developmental, biochemical, and genetic studies providing insights into the complex nature of HSCR.
