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

backgroundNeurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with equal sex incidence that is characterized by neurofibromas, café-au-lait macules, axillary freckling, optic pathway tumor, distinctive osseous lesion, and iris Lisch nodules. Inactivating variants in the NF1 gene have been identified to be correlated with NF1. This tumor suppressor gene is located at 17q11.2.

methodsTen affected NF1 probands and their available relatives from 10 unrelated Chinese families with neurofibromatosis type 1 were clinically studied. All of these probands mainly complained of osseous lesions. PCR was used to analyze and sequence the variants. We collected both laboratory and radiological information.

resultsWe detected five novel pathogenic variants including two de novo variants in these 10 families: one missense variant, p.Cys709Arg(c.2125T>C), in exon 18 and four frameshift variants: p.Leu1459Profs*2(c.4436dupT) in exon 34; p.Lys99Argfs*4(c.296delA) in exon 4; p.Leu762Cysfs*2(c.2283delA) in exon 19; and p.Leu1522Ilefs*53(c.4562_4563dupAT) in exon 34.

conclusionNovel pathogenic variants in the NF1 gene in these families correlated with the phenotype and genotype and explained the clinical manifestations of these patients. The results help us to understand the genetic basis of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 in China. Our study expands the pathogenic variant spectrum of the NF1 gene and may be helpful in genetic counseling and prenatal genetic diagnosis.
