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

purposeJoubert syndrome (JS) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous ciliopathy characterized by distinct cerebellar and brainstem malformations resulting in the diagnostic "molar tooth sign" on brain imaging. To date, more than 30 JS genes have been identified, but these do not account for all patients.

methodsIn our cohort of 100 patients with JS from 86 families, we prospectively performed extensive clinical evaluation and provided molecular diagnosis using a targeted 27-gene Molecular Inversion Probes panel followed by whole-exome sequencing (WES).

resultsWe identified the causative gene in 94% of the families; 126 (27 novel) unique potentially pathogenic variants were found in 20 genes, including KIAA0753 and CELSR2, which had not previously been associated with JS. Genotype-phenotype correlation revealed the absence of retinal degeneration in patients with TMEM67, C5orf52, or KIAA0586 variants. Chorioretinal coloboma was associated with a decreased risk for retinal degeneration and increased risk for liver disease. TMEM67 was frequently associated with kidney disease.

conclusionIn JS, WES significantly increases the yield for molecular diagnosis, which is essential for reproductive counseling and the option of preimplantation and prenatal diagnosis as well as medical management and prognostic counseling for the age-dependent and progressive organ-specific manifestations, including retinal, liver, and kidney disease.Genet Med advance online publication 26 January 2017.
