Hypermobility in individuals with Kabuki syndrome: The effect of growth hormone treatment.
Article in American journal of medical genetics. Part A, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a multiple congenital malformation syndrome which has been described across all ethnic groups. Most KS patients possess two genetic subtypes: KMT2D-associated, autosomal-dominant KS type 1 (KS1; OMIM 147920); and KDM6A-associated, X-linked-dominant KS type 2. Generalized joint hypermobility is one feature of KS, but its exact incidence and pattern is not well described in the literature. As part of our prospective study on the metabolic and growth effect of GH treatment, we assessed children from our Dutch Kabuki cohort who were eligible for growth hormone therapy. We assessed severity and pattern of joint hypermobility, both before and after 24 months of growth hormone replacement therapy. The prevalence of hypermobility was 31% in boys and 14% in girls using the Beighton score and 69% in boys and 57% in girls using the Bulbena score. This varies from the general population where girls are more affected. After 2 years of growth hormone treatment, there was a statistically significant decrease in the presence of joint hypermobility to 6% using the Bulbena score and none with respect to the Beighton score. We hypothesized that this result suggests a direct effect of growth hormone on connective tissue in patients with KS.
