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

Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare genetic disease of the motile cilia and is one of a rapidly expanding collection of disorders known as ciliopathies. Patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia have diverse clinical manifestations, including chronic upper and lower respiratory tract disease, left-right laterality defects, and infertility. In recent years, our understanding of the genetics of primary ciliary dyskinesia has rapidly advanced. A growing number of disease-associated genes and pathogenic mutations have been identified, which encode axonemal, cytoplasmic, and regulatory proteins involved in the assembly, structure, and function of motile cilia. Our knowledge of cilia genetics and the function of the proteins encoded has led to a greater understanding of the clinical manifestations of motile ciliopathies. These advances have changed our approach toward diagnostic testing for primary ciliary dyskinesia. In this review, we will describe how new insights into genetics have allowed us to define the clinical features of primary ciliary dyskinesia, revolutionize diagnostics, and reveal previously unrecognized genotype-phenotype relationships in primary ciliary dyskinesia.
