GNAQ mutation R183Q as a potential cause of familial Sturge-Weber syndrome: A case report.
Article in Oncology letters, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a rare neurocutaneous disorder whose etiology remains unclear. To investigate the genetic contribution underlying this disease, the genetic variants of a 4-generation family with a history of SWS was analyzed in the present study. SWS was diagnosed in 3 of the family members (II-1, III-11 and IV-6). Sanger sequencing was performed to identify mutations in G protein subunit αq (GNAQ) and RAS p21 protein activator 1 exons in the 3 patients with SWS and other unaffected family members. Notably, a non-synonymous single-nucleotide variant at codon 183 on exon 4 of the GNAQ gene was identified as the only pathogenic site. This variant generated a substitution of arginine (R) with glutamine and resulted in a change of function of the encoded protein. Evolutionary conservation analysis revealed that the mutated residue 183 (R) of GNAQ is highly conserved across several vertebrate species. Furthermore, an immunofluorescence staining assay demonstrated that the substitution of arginine with glutamine resulted in a change in the sub-cellular localization of the GNAQ recombinant protein
