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

CSNK2B, which encodes the beta subunit of casein kinase II (CK2), plays an important role in neuron morphology and synaptic transmission. Variants in CSNK2B associated with epilepsy and/or intellectual disability (ID)/developmental delay (DD) have been reported in five cases only. Among the 816 probands suspected hereditary epilepsy whose initial report of trio-based whole exome sequencing (WES) were negative, 10 de novo pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants of CSNK2B in nine probands were identified after reanalysis of their raw Trio-WES data. Six of the nine epileptic patients had ID/DD. The age of seizure onset of these nine patients with CSNK2B variants ranged from 2-12 months. Eight patients had age of seizure onset of less than 6 months. The epilepsy of most probands (8/9) was generalized tonic-clonic seizure and clustered (6/9). Most patients had normal electroencephalogram (5/9) and brain magnetic resonance image (7/9) results. Most patients (7/9) had easy-to-control seizures. Levetiracetam was the most commonly used drug in seizure-free patients (5/7). The variants detected in five patients (5/9, 55.6%) were located in the zinc-binding domain. In summary, our research provided evidence that variants in CSNK2B are associated with epilepsy with or without ID/DD. CSNK2B-related epilepsy is relatively easy to be controlled. The zinc-binding domain appears to be the hotspot region for mutation.
