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

backgroundTyrosinemia type 1 (HT1, MIM#276700) is caused by a deficiency in fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) and it is associated with severe liver and renal disfunction. At present, the mutational FAH (15q25.1, MIM*613871) spectrum underlying HT1 in the Mexican population is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the FAH genotypes in eight nonrelated Mexican patients with HT1, who were diagnosed clinically.

methodsSequencing of FAH and their exon-intron boundaries and in silico protein modeling based on the crystallographic structure of mouse FAH.

resultsWe identified pathogenic variants in 15/16 studied alleles (93.8%). Nine different variants were found. The most commonly detected HT1-causing allele was NM_000137.2(FAH):c.3G > A or p.(?) [rs766882348] (25%, n = 4/16). We also identified a novel missense variant NM_000137.2(FAH):c.36C > A or p.(Phe12Leu) in a homozygous patient with an early and fatal acute form. The latter was classified as a likely pathogenic variant and in silico protein modeling showed that Phe-12 residue substitution for Leu, produces a repulsion in all possible Leu rotamers, which in turn would lead to a destabilization of the protein structure and possible loss-of-function.

conclusionHT1 patients had a heterogeneous mutational and clinical spectrum and no genotype-phenotype correlation could be established.
