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

backgroundMutations in the HECT domain of NEDD4L have recently been identified in a cohort of eight patients with a syndromic form of bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH) in association with neurodevelopmental delay, cleft palate, and toe syndactyly (PVNH7).

methodsCase report based on NGS sequencing.

resultsHere, we describe a girl with a novel heterozygous NEDD4L missense variant, p.Tyr679His, and characteristic clinical findings, including bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia, cleft palate and mild toe syndactyly. Molecular testing from peripheral blood identified the healthy father to carry the NEDD4L variant in mosaic state. Notably, a previous pregnancy of the couple had been terminated due to a complex fetal developmental disorder, including hypokinesia and flexion contractures. Upon review, this affected fetus was also shown to carry the familial NEDD4L variant.

conclusionOur findings may suggest a broader spectrum of NEDD4L-associated phenotypes, including severe prenatal neurodevelopmental manifestations, which might represent yet another genetic form of fetal hypokinesia with flexion contractures.
