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

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by survival motor neuron (SMN) protein deficiency leading the loss of motor neurons in the anterior horns of the spinal cord and brainstem. More than 95% of SMA patients are attributed to the homozygous deletion of survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, and approximately 5% are caused by compound heterozygous with a SMN1 deletion and a subtle mutation. Here, we identified a rare variant c.835-5T>G in intron 6 of SMN1 in a patient affected with type I SMA. We analyzed the functional consequences of this mutation on mRNA splicing in vitro. After transfecting pCI-SMN1, pCI-SMN2, and pCI-SMN1 c.835-5T>G minigenes into HEK293, Neuro-2a, and SHSY5Y cells, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to compare the splicing effects of these minigenes. Finally, we found that this mutation resulted in the skipping of exon 7 in SMN1, which confirmed the genetic diagnosis of SMA.
