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

objectivesIn this study, we report a case of Finnish gelsolin amyloidosis (FGA) in a Chinese family.

methodsThe proband presented with a range of clinical symptoms that included epileptic seizures and multiple lesions in the brain. Whole exome sequencing of the Gelsolin (GSN) gene was performed, and the GSN mutation was identified through comparison with the known human genome sequences using Genetic Testing Intelligent Execution System.

resultsThe GSN gene sequencing revealed that a heterozygous G duplicate in exon1 (c.100dupG) of the GSN gene, which caused a frameshift in GSN transcript translation in the proband, his mother and daughter, but his brother did not have it.

conclusionWe presented a new autosomal dominant heterozygous G duplicate mutation in exon1 of GSN gene, leading to FGA in a Chinese family.
