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

objectivesThe aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of GJB2, GJB3, and GJB6 gene mutations in non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSHL) cases living in Sivas region, to provide appropriate genetic counseling for cases who were found to have mutation, and to contribute to decrease the frequency of mutant allele in the next generation and plan treatment and rehabilitation with early diagnosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study included 53 unrelated cases that were diagnosed with congenital NSHL between June 2009 and March 2010. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method was used for genotyping of GJB2, GJB3, and GJB6 gene mutations.

resultsHeterozygous 35delG variant was determined in 1.9% (n=1) of cases, homozygous 35delG in 15.1% (n=8), heterozygous IVS1+1G>A mutation in 1.9% (n=1), compound heterozygous in 3.8% (n=2), and homozygous IVS1+1G>A variant in 3.8% (n=2). None of the cases had mutation in GJB3 and GJB6 genes. Mutated allele frequencies in the present study were found to be 17.9% for 35delG and 6.6% for IVS1+1G>A.

conclusionThe present study showed that 35delG mutation is the most common variant in the Sivas region, and that IVS1+1G>A mutation should be investigated in hearing loss. Another result of the present study was that genetic analyzes would allow early diagnosis of hearing impairments particularly when infants whose parents have consanguinity do not pass the newborn hearing screening.
