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

backgroundDeafness, dystonia, and cerebral hypomyelination (DDCH) is an X-linked disorder due to hemizygous mutations of BCAP31.

methodsWe report an 8-year-old boy with DDCH who possibly accompanied mitochondrial dysfunction. Clinical evaluation, respiratory chain enzyme assay, and whole exome sequencing analysis were performed.

resultsMitochondrial dysfunction was suspected by respiratory chain enzyme assay on his cultured skin fibroblasts which showed significantly decreased complex I enzyme activity. Whole exome sequencing analysis revealed a recurrent BCAP31 mutation (c.97C>T:p.Gln33*) which confirmed the diagnosis of DDCH for the patient.

conclusionWe speculate that mitochondrial dysfunction may be a feature in patients with DDCH.
