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

backgroundPathogenic variants in FBN1 cause autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome but can also be found in patients presenting with apparently isolated features of Marfan syndrome. Moreover, several families with autosomal recessive Marfan syndrome caused by pathogenic variants in FBN1 have been described. The aim of this report was to underline the clinical variability that can be associated with the pathogenic variant c.1453C>T, p.(Arg485Cys) in FBN1.

methodsWe provide the clinical details of two autosomal dominant families with this specific FBN1 variant, which was previously associated with autosomal recessive Marfan syndrome.

resultsClinical data of 14 individuals carrying this variant from these two families were collected retrospectively. In both families, the diagnosis of autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome was established based on the characteristics of the variant and the phenotype which includes aortic aneurysms and dissections. Of interest, in one of the families, multiple relatives were diagnosed with early onset abdominal aortic aneurysms.

conclusionIn conclusion, FBN1 variant c.1453C>T, p.(Arg485Cys) is a pathogenic variant that can cause autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome characterized by a high degree of clinical variability and apparently isolated early onset familial abdominal aortic aneurysms.
