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

backgroundAuditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) is manifested as impairment of auditory nerve activity but preservation of the outer hair cell function.

objectiveThis study was to detect the disease-causing gene and variant(s) in a Chinese ANSD family.

methodsA four-generation consanguineous Chinese ANSD family and 200 unrelated healthy controls were enrolled. Exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were applied to identify the genetic basis for ANSD in this family.

resultsExome sequencing detected a c.1236delC variant of the otoferlin gene in an apparently homozygous state. Sanger sequencing confirmed that the variant co-segregating with the phenotype of hearing impairments in this family. The variant was not detected in 200 healthy controls. The c.1236delC alteration may result in a truncated otoferlin missing the C2C-C2F domains and the C-terminal transmembrane domain, and thus severely damages Ca2+-dependent synaptic vesicle fusion and targeting function of the otoferlin.

conclusionOur study suggested that the c.1236delC alteration in the otoferlin gene may be the disease-causing variant in this family, and also shed new light on genetic counseling to this ANSD family.
