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

backgroundThe Von Hippel-Lindau (

methodsPaired whole-exome sequencing (WES), Sanger sequencing and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed on samples from a large Chinese family to confirm the causative mutation and mutation carriers in the family. Clinical manifestations of the family were summarized and compared with those reported from other patients with the

resultsThe Chinese pheochromocytoma (PCC) family was identified as a VHL type 2 family with a

conclusionsWe report the first recorded instance of a Chinese VHL type 2 family with the "Black Forest" mutation by using WES and Sanger sequencing, which widens the currently recorded presence of the "Black Forest" mutation to China and potentially elsewhere in Asia and indicates that the "Black Forest" mutation does not uniquely evolve in occidental countries. A personalized surveillance approach, which may be more appropriate for affected families, has been recommended to improve quality of life.
