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

Mutations in adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter A3 (ABCA3) (OMIM: 601615) gene constitute the most frequent genetic cause of severe neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) in children. Interstitial lung disease in children and especially in infants, in contrast to adults, is more likely to appear as a result of developmental deficits or is characterized by genetic aberrations of pulmonary surfactant homeostasis not responding to exogenous surfactant administration. The underlying ABCA3 gene mutations are commonly thought, regarding null mutations, to determine the clinical course of the disease while there exist mutation types, especially missense variants, whose effects on surfactant proteins are difficult to predict. In addition, clinical and radiological signs overlap with those of surfactant proteins B and C mutations making diagnosis challenging. We demonstrate a case of a one-term newborn male with lethal respiratory failure caused by homozygous missense ABCA3 gene mutation c.3445G>A (p.Asp1149Asn), which, to our knowledge, was not previously reported as a causative agent of newborn lethal RDS. Therapeutic strategies for patients with ABCA3 gene mutations are not sufficiently evidence-based. Therefore, the description of the clinical course and treatment of the disease in terms of a likely correlation between genotype and phenotype is crucial for the development of the optimal clinical approach for affected individuals.
