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

backgroundCentronuclear myopathy (CNM), a subtype of congenital myopathy (CM), is a group of clinical and genetically heterogeneous muscle disorders. Centronuclear myopathy is a kind of disease difficult to diagnose due to its genetic diversity. Since the discovery of the SPEG gene and disease-causing variants, only a few additional patients have been reported.

methodsA radiograph test, ultrasonic test, and biochemical tests were applied to clinical diagnosis of CNM. We performed trio medical exome sequencing of the family and conservation analysis to identify variants.

resultsWe report a pair of severe CNM twins with the same novel homozygous SPEG variant c. 8710A>G (p.Thr2904Ala) identified by clinical trio medical exome sequencing of the family and conservation analysis. The twins showed clinical symptoms of facial weakness, hypotonia, arthrogryposis, strephenopodia, patent ductus arteriosus, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

conclusionsOur report expands the clinical and molecular repertoire of CNM and enriches the variant spectrum of the SPEG gene in the Chinese population and helps us further understand the pathogenesis of CNM.
