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

We have examined collagen from a patient with the rare type IIC form of perinatally lethal osteogenesis imperfecta, in whom biochemical characteristics of hypophosphatasia were also apparent. In addition to normal alpha 1(I) and alpha 2(I) chains, there were chains overmodified along their lengths. Unexpectedly, the thermal stability of molecules containing these chains was normal. This suggests the existence of a structural mutation causing delayed triple helix formation, situated in either the alpha 1(I) or alpha 2(I) C-terminal propeptide. Since collagen synthesised by fibroblasts from each of the patient's parents was normal, the mutation was probably newly arising and dominant. In contrast to other reported cases of lethal osteogenesis imperfecta, not only was the secretion of collagen by cultured fibroblasts considerably retarded, but that of non-collagenous proteins was also severely impaired.
