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

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common candidate mutations in human beings that play a vital role in the genetic basis of certain diseases. Previous studies revealed that Solute Carrier Family 26 Member 4 (SLC26A4) being an essential gene of the multi-faceted transporter family SLC26 facilitates reflexive movement of Iodide into follicular lumen through apical membrane of thyrocyte. SLC26A4 gene encodes Pendred protein, a membrane glycoprotein, highly hydrophobic in nature, present at the apical membrane of thyrocyte functioning as transporter of iodide for thyroid cells. A minor genetic variation in SLC26A4 can cause Pendred syndrome, a syndrome associated with thyroid glands and deafness. In this study, we performed in-silico analysis of 674 missense SNPs of SLC26A4 using different computational platforms. The bunch of tools including SNPNEXUS, SNAP-2, PhD-SNP, SNPs&GO, I-Mutant, ConSurf, and ModPred were used to predict 23 highly confident damaging and disease causing nsSNPs (G209V, G197R, L458P, S427P, Q101P, W472R, N392Y, V359E, R409C, Q235R, R409P, G139V, G497S, H723R, D87G, Y127H, F667C, G334A, G95R, S427C, R291W, Q383H and E384G) that could potentially alter the SLC26A4 gene. Moreover, protein structure prediction, protein-ligand docking and Molecular Dynamics simulation were performed to confirm the impact of two evident alterations (Y127H and G334A) on the protein structure and function.
