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

backgroundTo analyze the clinical phenotypes and genetic variants of a Chinese family with Waardenburg syndrome (WS) and to explore the possible molecular pathogenesis of WS.

methodsThe clinical data from a patient and his family were collected. The genomic DNA of the patient and his family was purified from their peripheral blood. All exons and flanking sequences of the MITF, PAX3, SOX10, SNAI2, END3, and EDNRB genes were investigated through high-throughput sequencing. Based on the results of high-throughput sequencing, genetic variants in the patient and his family were verified and analyzed by Sanger sequencing.

resultsThe patient was diagnosed with typical WS1 that manifested in hearing impairment, inner canthus ectopia and heterochromic iris. Sanger sequencing revealed the pathogenic heterozygous c.420-424de1CGCGGinsTTAC mutation in the PAX3 gene in the proband, which is a frameshift mutation that changed the amino acid sequence of the PAX3 protein from AVCDRNTVPSV to YSVIETPCRQ* (* refers to a stop codon) from amino acids 141-151. The stop codon induced by this mutation resulted in the truncation of the PAX3 protein. The same mutation sites were also found in the mother and younger sister of the proband. No previous report of this mutation was found in the Human Gene Mutation Database.

conclusionThe novel heterozygous c.420-424de1CGCGGinsTTAC mutation is the molecular pathological cause for WS1 in our patient. The clinical and genetic characterization of this family with WS1 elucidated the genetic heterogeneity of PAX3 in WS1. Moreover, the mutation detected in this case has expanded the database of PAX3 mutations.
