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

Cohen syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hypotonia, obesity, developmental delay, mental retardation, and facial, oral, ophthalmic, and limb deformities. Mutations in VPS13B have been found to be responsible for this disorder. In the current report, we have assessed three Iranian families with developmental delay and skeletal deformities. Whole exome sequencing of the affected probands led to identification of the underlying genetic cause in these families. Three mutations were found in VPS13B gene. The detected mutations were c.4608_4609del (p.E1537Rfs*7), c.11486dupG (p.L3830Tfs*13), and c.10360dupC (p.L3454fs*7). The current study broadens the mutation spectrum of VPS13B gene and demonstrates different phenotypic features from classic Cohen syndrome. Moreover, the provided data can be used in genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis of Iranian patients.
