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

purposeGenetic testing in pediatric cholestasis can be very informative but genetic causes have not been fully characterized.

methodsExome sequencing and positional mapping in seven families with cholestatic liver disease and negative clinical testing for known disease genes.

resultsKIF12, which encodes a microtubule motor protein with a tentative role in cell polarity, was found to harbor three homozygous likely deleterious variants in three families with sclerosing cholangitis. KIF12 expression is dependent on HNF-1β, deficiency which is known to cause bile duct dysmorphogenesis associated with loss of KIF12 expression. In another extended family, we mapped an apparently novel syndrome of sclerosing cholangitis, short stature, hypothyroidism, and abnormal tongue pigmentation in two cousins to a homozygous variant in PPM1F (POPX2), a regulator of kinesin-mediated ciliary transport. In the fifth family, a syndrome of normal gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) cholestasis and hearing loss was found to segregate with a homozygous truncating variant in USP53, which encodes an interactor with TJP2. In the sixth family, we mapped a novel syndrome of transient neonatal cholestasis, intellectual disability, and short stature to a homozygous variant in LSR, an important regulator of liver development. In the last family of three affected siblings, a novel syndrome of intractable itching, hypercholanemia, short stature, and intellectual disability was mapped to a single locus that contains a homozygous truncating variant in WDR83OS (C19orf56), known to interact with ATP13A2 and BSEP.

conclusionOur results expand the genetic heterogeneity of pediatric cholestatic liver disease and highlight the vulnerability of bile homeostasis to a wide range of molecular perturbations.
