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

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder primarily characterized by multiple café-au-lait macules, peripheral neurofibromas, skinfold freckling, and Lisch nodules. The causative genetic factor is the neurofibromin 1 gene (NF1), which encodes a Ras GTPase-activating protein called neurofibromin. NF1 variants may lead to loss of neurofibromin function and activation of downstream cell growth. This study aims to discover the disease-causing variants responsible for NF1 in two Han Chinese families by using exome sequencing combined with Sanger sequencing. A recurrent missense variant c.269T>C (p.Leu90Pro) and a novel nonsense variant c.2993dupA (p.Tyr998*) in the NF1 gene were identified. These variants co-segregated with the disorder in the pedigrees and were absent in the normal controls. The results broaden the NF1 mutation spectrum responsible for NF1. This may be helpful in genetic counseling, clinical management, and gene-targeted therapies for NF1.
