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

Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome (MMDS) is an autosomal recessive disorder of systemic energy metabolism. This study is to present the diagnosis of two MMDS Chinese sufferers. Physical and auxiliary examination was performed. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was conducted to identify candidate causal genes and Sanger sequencing was adopted to validate the variants detected. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (FQ-PCR) amplification was carried out to testify allelic loss existence. Structural investigation was performed to study the possibility of the candidate variants for disease onset. Physical examination showed that the children were with neurological impairment. Auxiliary examination demonstrated energy metabolism disturbance and abnormal brain signals. NGS found that the probands had homozygous mutation of c.545 + 5G > A and compound heterozygous variants of exon 4 deletion and c.721G > T in NFU1, respectively. NFU1 was considered as candidate molecular etiology and indicating that the kids were with MMDS. Sanger sequencing confirmed the variants. FQ-PCR amplification characterized that patient 1 had a de novo allele mutation while patient 2 inherited from his parents. Structural investigation demonstrated that the variants were possible for MMDS occurrence. This is the first report of patients diagnosed as MMDS with novel mutation types from the Asia-Pacific region.
