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

objectivesHereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by pathogenic blood vessel development and maintenance. HHT type 1 (HHT1) and type 2 (HHT2) are caused by variants in endoglin (ENG) and activin receptor-like kinase-1 (ACVRL1), respectively. The aim of this study was to identify the spectrum of pathogenic variants in ENG and ACVRL1 in Austrian HHT families.

methodsIn this prospective study, eight Austrian HHT families were screened for variants in ENG and ACVRL1 by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of DNA isolated from peripheral blood.

resultsHeterozygous variants were identified in all families under study. HHT1 was caused by a novel c.816+1G>A splice donor variant, a novel c.1479C>A nonsense (p.Cys493X) variant and a published c.1306C>T nonsense (p.Gln436X) variant in ENG. Variants found in ACVRL1 were novel c.200G>C (p.Arg67Pro) and known c.772G>A (p.Gly258Ser) missense variants in highly conserved residues, a known heterozygous c.100dupT frameshift (p.Cys34Leufs*4) and the known c.1204G>A missense (p.Gly402Ser) and c.1435C>T nonsense (p.Arg479X) variants as causes of HHT2.

conclusionNovel and published variants in ENG (37.5%) and ACVRL1 (62.5%) were exclusively identified as the cause of HHT in an Austrian patient cohort. Identification of novel causative genetics variants should facilitate the development of tailored therapeutical applications in the future treatment of autosomal dominant HHT.
