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

The genetic causes of Leigh syndrome are heterogeneous, with a poor genotype-phenotype correlation. To date, more than 50 nuclear genes cause nuclear gene-encoded Leigh syndrome. NDUFS6 encodes a 13 kiloDaltons subunit, which is part of the peripheral arm of complex I and is localized in the iron-sulfur fraction. Only a few patients were reported with proven NDUFS6 pathogenic variants and all presented with severe neonatal lactic acidemia and complex I deficiency, leading to death in the first days of life. Here, we present a patient harboring two NDUFS6 variants with a phenotype compatible with Leigh syndrome. Although most of previous reports suggested that NDUFS6 pathogenic variants invariably lead to early neonatal death, this report shows that the clinical spectrum could be larger. We found a severe decrease of NDUFS6 protein level in patient's fibroblasts associated with a complex I assembly defect in patient's muscle and fibroblasts. These data confirm the importance of NDUFS6 and the Zn-finger domain for a correct assembly of complex I.
