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

backgroundHearing impairment is one of most frequent birth defects, which affects nearly 1 in every 1,000 live births. However, the molecular etiology of non-syndromic deafness in China is not well studied. Here, we have investigated the presence of mutations in three genes commonly mutated in non-syndromic deafness patients in Shanxi Province, which has the highest frequency of birth defects in China.

methodsIn total, 1,201 unrelated non-syndromic deafness patients and 300 healthy individuals were enrolled. The hearing ability was confirmed by audiologic evaluation. Three major deafness-related genes (GJB2, SLC26A4 (PDS), and mtDNA 12S rRNA) of all individuals enrolled were analyzed by Sanger sequencing.

resultsThe results showed that GJB2 mutations accounted for 21.23% (255/1,201) in the patient group, with c.235delC, a hotspot mutation, accounting for 10.99% (132/1,201). Moreover, 11 new GJB2 mutations were identified. SLC26A4 mutations accounted for 9.33% (112/1,201) in the patient group, with IVS7-2A>G as the most prevalent mutation accounting for 4.75% (57/1,201). In addition, 15 patients (1.25%) were found to carry mtDNA 12S rRNA c.1555A>G mutation, while only two cases had the mtDNA 12S rRNA c.1494C>T.

conclusionIn our research, it was found that c.235delC in GJB2 and c.919-2A>G (IVS7-2A>G) in SLC26A4 were the highest frequency pathogenic variants in Shanxi Province. Taken together, our data will enrich the database of deafness mutations and will help clinical diagnosis, treatment, and genetic counseling of hearing impairment.
