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

Traditional approaches to prenatal genetic diagnosis for common presentations such as short femurs or intrauterine growth restriction are imperfect, and whole-exome sequencing is an emerging option. Mucolipidosis type II (I-cell disease) is an ultra-rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder with the potential for prenatal-onset skeletal and placental manifestations. We describe the prenatal signs in two recent unrelated patients with confirmed diagnoses soon after birth. In both cases, parents were consanguineous but there was no known family history of mucolipidosis type II. False reassurance was provided after negative testing for another disease with overlapping prenatal manifestations already present in one of the families, emphasizing that offspring of consanguineous parents can be at risk for more than one recessive condition. Our experience illustrates the potential advantages in expanding prenatal applications of WES for the identification of rare single gene disorders in offspring of consanguineous unions.
