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

Nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a fundamental component of the nuclear envelope and is key to the nucleocytoplasmic transport. Mutations in several NUP genes that encode individual components of NPC known as nucleoporins have been identified in recent years among patients with static encephalopathies characterized by developmental delay and microcephaly. We describe a multiplex consanguineous family in which four affected members presented with severe neonatal hypotonia, profound global developmental delay, progressive microcephaly and early death. Autozygome and linkage analysis revealed that this phenotype is linked to a founder disease haplotype (chr9:127,113,732-135,288,807) in which whole exome sequencing revealed the presence of a novel homozygous missense variant in NUP214. Functional analysis of patient-derived fibroblasts recapitulated the dysmorphic phenotype of nuclei that was previously described in NUP214 knockdown cells. In addition, the typical rim staining of NUP214 is largely displaced, further supporting the deleterious effect of the variant. Our data expand the list of NUP genes that are mutated in encephalopathy disorders in humans.
