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

Netherton syndrome (OMIM #256500) is a rare but severe autosomal recessive form of ichthyosis that affects the skin, hair, and immune system. The identification of SPINK5, which encodes for the serine protease inhibitor LEKTI, as the gene responsible for Netherton syndrome, enabled the search for causative mutations in Netherton syndrome patients and families. However, information regarding these mutations and their association with the pathological Netherton syndrome phenotype is scarce. Herein, we provide an up-to-date overview of 80 different mutations in exonic as well as intronic regions that have been currently identified in 172 homozygous or compound heterozygous patients from 144 families. Genotypes with mutations located more upstream in LEKTI correlate with more severe phenotypes compared with similar mutations located towards the 3' region. Furthermore, splicing mutations and post-transcriptional mechanism of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay affect LEKTI expression in variable ways. Genotype-phenotype correlations form the basis of prenatal diagnosis in families with a history of Netherton syndrome and when consanguinity is implied.
