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

Pediatric cardiomyopathy is a complex disease with clinical and genetic heterogeneity. Recently, the ALPK3 gene was described as a new hereditary cardiomyopathy gene underlying pediatric cardiomyopathies. Only eight patients carrying mutations in ALPK3 have been reported to date. Here, we report a 3-year-old male patient with both hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy. The patient presented dysmorphic features and skeletal deformities of hands and feet, pectus excavatum, and cleft palate. The genetic investigation was performed by whole-exome sequencing in the patient and his parents. We identified a novel homozygous mutation in ALPK3 (c.1531_1532delAA; p.Lys511Argfs*12). Our work extends the phenotypic spectrum of the ALPK3-associated cardiomyopathy by reporting additional clinical features. This is the first study of a Tunisian patient with mutation in the ALPK3 gene. In conclusion, ALPK3 should be included in the list of genes to be considered in genetic studies for patients affected with pediatric syndromic cardiomyopathy.
