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

PURPOSE AND

methodsHereditary vitamin D resistant rickets (HVDRR) is a rare disease that presents with signs and symptoms of rickets, alopecia, and growth retardation during the early years of life. The disease is caused by mutations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene, which leads to unresponsiveness of the mutant receptor to 1-25(OH) 2 D3. The disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessive disorder and is found with equal frequency in males and females. The disease is rarely encountered and only about 100 cases are reported so far. The current paper reported the clinical and laboratory characteristics of 2 Iranian siblings with this disorder. RESULTS AND

conclusionThey presented with rickets, growth retardation, muscle weakness, hypocalcemia and alopecia totalis since early childhood, and were followed up for 27 years. Sequencing of the DNA extracted from the peripheral white blood cells showed a missense G to A mutation in exon number 4 (g.30994 G > A) that led to the methionine substitution for the naturally occurring valine at position 26 in the DNA binding domain (DBD) of the VDR.
