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

To date, 6 cases of 17p13.1 microduplications have been described in the literature. Intellectual disability is the core feature, together with minor facial dysmorphisms and obesity. We describe the first case of a young patient with a maternally inherited microduplication in 17p13.1 presenting with growth hormone deficiency. The boy was addressed to the endocrine division for growth retardation (weight and height <3rd percentile). Besides minor facial dysmorphisms, physical and neurological examinations were normal except for motor dyspraxia. Basic blood tests and endocrinological investigations were normal, but IGF1 levels were low for his age. Growth hormone deficiency was confirmed. Hypothalamic pituitary MRI was normal. His karyotype was 46XY. Array-CGH analysis detected a 422-kb copy number gain in the spanning region 17p13.1 inherited from his mother. Although familial short stature is considered a "normal" variation of growth retardation, hormonal and genetic investigation is essential in the etiological diagnosis.
