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

purposeFamilial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) is a rare inherited disease accounting for 1% of all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). It is genetically heterogeneous being associated with mutations in different genes, including MEN1, CDC73, CASR, and recently GCM2. The aim of the study was to further investigate the molecular pathogenesis in Italian FIHP kindreds.

methodsWe used whole exome sequencing (WES) in the probands of seven unrelated FIHP kindreds. We carried out a separate family-based exome analysis in a large family characterized by the co-occurrence of PHPT with multiple tumors apparently unrelated to the disease. Selected variants were also screened in 18 additional FIHP kindreds. The clinical, biochemical, and pathological characteristics of the families were also investigated.

resultsThree different variants in GCM2 gene were found in two families, but only one (p.Tyr394Ser), already been shown to be pathogenic in vitro, segregated with the disease. Six probands carried seven heterozygous missense mutations segregating with the disease in the FAT3, PARK2, HDAC4, ITPR2 and TBCE genes. A genetic variant in the APC gene co-segregating with PHPT (p.Val530Ala) was detected in a family whose affected relatives had additional tumors, including colonic polyposis.

conclusionWe confirm the role of GCM2 germline mutations in the pathogenesis of FIHP, although at a lower rate than in the previous WES study. Further studies are needed to establish the prevalence and the role in the predisposition to FIHP of the novel variants in additional genes.
