Epidemiology of DYT1 dystonia: Estimating prevalence via genetic ascertainment.
Article in Neurology. Genetics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo estimate the prevalence of
methodsWe determined the frequency of the common trinucleotide deletion that causes DYT1 in the Genome Aggregation Database and the Penn Medicine Biobank, totaling exomes from over 135,000 individuals. We also evaluated the prevalence of other possible pathogenic variants in this gene and asked whether the D216H polymorphism is linked to a higher diagnostic rate for dystonia independent of the DYT1-causing mutation.
resultsThe estimated range of prevalence of the most common pathogenic variant that causes DYT1 is ∼17.6-26.1 carriers per 100,000 individuals. Based on the different data sets used, we predict that there are between 54,366 and 80,891 mutation carriers in the United States, which, due to the reduced penetrance of this variant, would translate into 16,475-24,513 DYT1 patients.
conclusionsOur data provide a prevalence estimate of the most common DYT1 mutation in the general population. This information is specifically important for those with interest in the development of precision therapeutics for dystonia.
