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

Branchio-oto-renal (BOR) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by branchiogenic anomalies, hearing loss, and renal anomalies. The aim of this study was to reveal the clinical phenotypes and their causative genes in Japanese BOR patients. Patients clinically diagnosed with BOR syndrome were analyzed by direct sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), and next-generation sequencing (NGS). We identified the causative genes in 38/51 patients from 26/36 families; EYA1 aberrations were identified in 22 families, SALL1 mutations were identified in two families, and SIX1 mutations and a 22q partial tetrasomy were identified in one family each. All patients identified with causative genes suffered from hearing loss. Second branchial arch anomalies, including a cervical fistula or cyst, preauricular pits, and renal anomalies, were frequently identified (>60%) in patients with EYA1 aberrations. Renal hypodysplasia or unknown-cause renal insufficiency was identified in more than half of patients with EYA1 aberrations. Even within the same family, renal phenotypes often varied substantially. In addition to direct sequencing, MLPA and NGS were useful for the genetic analysis of BOR patients.
