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

Oculodentodigital dysplasia, a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding gap junction protein 1, classically presents with typical facial features, dental and ocular anomalies, and syndactyly. Oligosymptomatic patients are common and difficult to recognize, in particular if syndactyly is absent. Neurologic manifestation occurs in approximately 30% of patients, and leukodystrophy or T2 hypointensity of gray matter structures or both have been noted in individual patients. To investigate MR imaging changes in oculodentodigital dysplasia, we retrospectively and systematically reviewed 12 MRIs from 6 genetically confirmed patients. Diffuse supratentorial hypomyelination, T2-hypointense Rolandic and primary visual cortex, and symmetric involvement of middle cerebellar peduncle, pyramidal tract, and medial lemniscus was present in all, T2-hypointense pallidum and dentate nucleus in 2 patients each. This consistent, characteristic pattern of diffuse supratentorial hypomyelination and brain stem involvement differs from other hypomyelinating and nonhypomyelinating leukodystrophies with brain stem involvement, and its recognition should trigger genetic testing for oculodentodigital dysplasia.
