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

PTPN23 encodes a ubiquitously expressed non-receptor type, catalytically inactive protein-tyrosine phosphatase found in all cells including neurons. Recently, we have identified PTPN23 in a cellular screen for the systematic identification of novel regulators of survival motor neuron (SMN) function in the assembly of splicing factors (Uridine-rich small nuclear ribonucleoproteins, UsnRNPs). Based on three families, recessive PTPN23 variants have been associated with human disease tentatively, without functional studies. Here, we describe a pediatric proband with severe developmental delay, epilepsy, cortical blindness, hypomyelination and brain atrophy on MRI. Whole exome sequencing and family study showed two novel PTPN23 variants, c.1902C>G (p.(Asn634Lys)) and c.2974delC (p.(Leu992Tyrfs*168)), in compound heterozygous state, which are predicted in silico to be damaging. When studying patient's fibroblasts we found similar expression of SMN but a dramatic reduction of cells displaying SMN accumulation in Cajal bodies (CB). SMN strongly accumulated in CB in more than 50% of unrelated control cell fibroblasts as well as in fibroblasts from the parent carrying only the c.2974delC (p.(Leu992Tyrfs*168)) variant (predicted to cause loss-of-function). In contrast, only 22% of cells showed respective SMN accumulations in patient fibroblasts (p = 1.9-2.5 × 10
