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

rationaleLinear nevus sebaceous syndrome (LNSS) is a rare neurocutaneous syndrome, characterized by nevus sebaceous,central nervous system (CNS), ocular and skeletal abnormalities. The present study describes KRAS somatic mosaic mutation in a case of LNSS with lymphatic malformations (LMs). PATIENT CONCERNS: A 4-month-old female with a clinical diagnosis of LNSS presented with infantile spasms, mental retardation, skull dysplasia, ocular abnormalities, congenital atrial septal defect, and LMs. DIAGNOSIS: Cervical ultrasonography revealed a 4.6 × 4.6 × 2.2cm no echo packet with clear boundary in the subcutaneous tissues of the right neck. The neck MRI indicated a cyst in the subcutaneous tissues of the right neck. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a low-level heterozygous mutation of the KRAS gene (c.35C > T; p.G12D, 19%) in the skin lesion sample. This mutation was not present in the blood samples of the patient and her parents.

interventionsThe patient received sclerotherapy with paicibanil (OK-432) injection for the cyst. OUTCOMES: Following 1 year of treatment, the patient exhibited fewer seizures. The mental and motor development was significantly improved. The patient can currently walk with assistance and speak simple words. LESSONS: LNSS is a rare, congenital neurocutaneous syndrome consisting of a spectrum of abnormalities involving the skin, central nervous system, eyes, LMs and other systems. LNSS can be caused by postzygotic somatic mutation in the RAS family of genes. Multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment is needed.
