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

backgroundTo dissect the genetic alteration in two sisters with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) from a consanguineous family.

methodsWhole-exome sequencing technology was used in the POI proband, bioinformatics analysis was carried out to identify the potential genetic cause in this pedigree. Sanger sequencing analyses were performed to validate the segregation of the variant within the pedigree. In silico analysis was also used to predict the effect and pathogenicity of the variant.

resultsWhole-exome sequencing analysis identified novel and rare homozygous mutation associated with POI, namely mutation in FIGLA (c.2 T > C, start codon shift). This homozygous mutation was also harbored by the proband's sister with POI and was segregated within the consanguineous pedigree. The mutation in the start codon of the FIGLA gene alters the open reading frame, leading to a FIGLA knock-out like phenotype.

conclusionsBiallelic mutations in FIGLA may be the cause of POI. This study will aid researchers and clinicians in genetic counseling of POI and provides new insights into understanding the mode of genetic inheritance of FIGLA mutations in POI pathology.
