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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by high heritability. It is known that genetic factors contribute to ASD pathogenesis. In particular, copy number variants (CNVs) are involved in ASD susceptibility and can affect gene expression regulation. 2p11.2 microdeletions encompassing ELMOD3, CAPG and SH2D6 genes have been described in four unrelated ASD families. The present study revealed that this microdeletion is responsible for the production of a chimeric transcript generated from the fusion between ELMOD3 and SH2D6. The identified transcript showed significantly higher expression levels in subjects carrying the deletion compared to control subjects, suggesting that it is not subjected to nonsense-mediated decay and might encode for a chimeric protein. In conclusion, this study suggests the possible involvement of this gene fusion, together with the other previously identified variants, in ASD.
