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

Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by loss of algesthesis and inability to sweat. CIPA is known to be caused by mutations in the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1 gene ( NTRK1). However, the details of NTRK1 mutations in Chinese CIPA patients remain unclear. In the present study, we recruited 36 CIPA patients from 34 unrelated families in mainland China. Blood samples from these patients and their available familial members were collected and subjected to genetic analysis. We identified 27 mutations in NTRK1 from this cohort, including 15 novel mutations. Interestingly, we discovered two forms of novel recurrent mutations: the first was a large intragenic deletion c.429-374_717 + 485del mediated by recombination between Alu elements, and the second was a deep intronic substitutions c.[851-798C > T;851-794C > G]. All probands were homozygotes or compound heterozygotes of these mutations. Current findings expand our knowledge about the mutation spectrum of NTRK1 in Chinese CIPA patients and provide more evidence for precise diagnosis of the clinically suspected patients with CIPA.
