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

Approximately 20 cases of genome-wide uniparental disomy or diploidy (GWUPD) as mosaicism have previously been reported. We present the case of an 11-year-old deaf girl with a paternal uniparental diploidy or isodisomy with a genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (LOH). The patient was originally tested for non-syndromic deafness, and the novel variant p.V234I in the ESRRB gene was found in a homozygous state. Our female proband is the seventh patient diagnosed with GWUPD at a later age and is probably the least affected of the seven, as she has not yet presented any malignancy. Most, if not all, reported patients with GWUPD whose clinical details have been published have developed malignancy, and some of those patient developed malignancy several times. Therefore, our patient has a high risk of malignancy and is carefully monitored by a specific outpatient pediatric oncology program. This observation seems to be novel and unique in a GWUPD patient. Our study is also unique as it not only provides very detailed documentation of the genomic situations of various tissues but also reports differences in the mosaic ratios between the blood and saliva, as well as a normal biparental allelic situation in the skin and biliary duct. Additionally, we were able to demonstrate that the mosaic ratio in the blood remained stable even after 3 years and has not changed over a longer period.
