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

backgroundHypergonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder that usually presents with amenorrhea, atrophic ovaries, and low estrogen. Most cases of HH are idiopathic and nonsyndromic. Nucleoporin 107 (NUP107), a protein involved in transport between cytoplasm and nucleus with putative roles in meiosis/mitosis progression, was recently implicated as a cause of HH. We identified a NUP107 genetic variant in a nonconsanguineous family with two sisters affected with primary amenorrhea and HH, and generated a mouse model that carried the human variant.

methodsWe performed a high-resolution X-chromosome microarray and whole exome sequencing on parents and two sisters with HH to identify pathogenic variants. We generated a mouse model of candidate NUP107 variant using CRISPR/Cas9.

resultsWhole exome sequencing identified a novel and rare missense variant in the NUP107 gene (c.1063C>T, p.R355C) in both sisters with HH. In order to determine functional significance of this variant, we used CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce the human variant into the mouse genome. Mice with the homolog of the R355C variant, as well as the nine base pairs deletion in Nup107 had female subfertility.

conclusionsOur findings indicate that NUP107 R355C variant falls in the category of variant of unknown significance as the cause of HH and infertility.
