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

Autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss (ADNSHL) is genetically heterogeneous with more than 35 genes identified to date. Using a massively parallel sequencing panel targeting 159 deafness genes, we identified a novel missense variant of POU4F3 (c.982A>G, p.Lys328Glu) which co-segregated with the deafness phenotype in a three-generation Taiwanese family with ADNSHL. This variant could be classified as a "pathogenic variant" according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. We then performed subcellular localization experiments and confirmed that p.Lys328Glu compromised transportation of POU4F3 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. POU3F4 p.Lys328Glu was located within a bipartite nuclear localization signal (NLS), and was the first missense variant in bipartite NLS of POU4F3 validated in functional studies. These findings expanded the mutation spectrum of POU4F3 and provided insight into the pathogenesis associated with aberrant POU4F3 localization.
