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 aim of the present study was to identify mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) gene in patients with Crouzon syndrome and characterize the associated clinical features. A total of two Chinese patients diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome underwent complete examinations, including best‑corrected visual acuity, slit‑lamp, examination, fundus examination, optical coherence tomography and computed tomography of the skull. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples collected from the patients, as well as their family members and 200 unrelated control subjects from the same population. Exons 8 and 10 in the FGFR2 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and directly sequenced. Patient #1 had a heterozygous missense mutation (c.1025G>A, p.C342Y) in exon 10 of FGFR2. Patient #2 had a heterozygous mutation (c.1084+1 G>T; IVS10+1G>T) in intron 10. The mutations were not present in any of the unaffected family members or unrelated control subjects. These findings expand the mutation spectrum of FGFR2, and are valuable for genetic counseling in addition to prenatal diagnosis in patients with Crouzon syndrome.
