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

The clinical use of array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) has allowed the identification of very rare deletion and duplication disorders, such as 5q12 deletion syndrome (OMIM 615668) described as a contiguous gene deletion syndrome of chromosome 5q12. Chromosome microdeletions including band 5q12 have rarely been reported and have been associated with different phenotypes showing postnatal growth restriction, intellectual disability, epileptic seizures, hyperactivity, and ocular abnormalities. In this study, we describe a family in which array-CGH analysis revealed the presence of an interstitial microdeletion spanning approximately 2.9 Mb in the 5q12 region. The microdeletion is associated with epilepsy in the father and 2 siblings (a boy and a girl). So far, this is the first report in which a familial microdeletion 5q12 manifests in epilepsy. We suggest that this familial microdeletion could delineate a locus for susceptibility to epilepsy.
