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

backgroundVariable disease phenotypes can be influenced by several factors such as allelic variation, environmental factors, genetic modifiers, and genotype-environment interaction. Herein to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the coexistence of DMD and RNF213 gene mutations in a Korean family with differing disease phenotypes of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Moyamoya disease (MMD) in each female sibling.

methodsDeletion or duplication of the exon in DMD was screened using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Subsequently, single exon deletion or duplication identified by MLPA was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. On the other hand, a common missense mutation [NM_001256071.2:c.14429G>A (p.Arg4810Lys)] related to MMD in exon 60 of RNF213 was also identified by Sanger sequencing.

resultsThree female family members carried the same disease-causing mutations, c.9953_9954delAG of DMD and c.14429G>A of RNF213. Two (II-2 and II-3) of these siblings suffer from the disease but exhibited different DMD or MMD symptoms, while the mother (I-2) seemed almost unaffected.

conclusionThis report illustrates the difficulty that might be encountered in the interpretation of complex clinical manifestations when different genetic defects affecting neuromuscular and vascular diseases coexist.
