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

introductionFibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare and controversial disease that is seldom associated with genes. Here, we report the discovery of 2 missense mutations in COL4A5 and COL4A6 that may be risk factors for causing cerebrovascular FMD. We performed high-throughput sequencing on a patient with FMD and her probable healthy daughter, then annotated the frequency of a variant in a control or general population and assessed its deleterious effects according to published guidelines.

conclusionsWe identified missense mutations in COL4A5 (exon43:c.C3940 > T:p.P1314S) and COL4A6 (exon36:c.C3538 > T:p.P1180S) from the proband and her daughter. Sanger sequencing revealed that these probable causal variants were passed to her from her mother. The two missense mutations may have complex functional effects on the integrity of the cerebral vessel walls, including modulating collagens and promoting angiogenesis expression, may be responsible for cerebrovascular FMD.
