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

backgroundCongenital myasthenic syndrome 22 (CMS22) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder due to isolated PREPL deficiency and characterized by neonatal hypotonia, muscular weakness, and feeding difficulties. Eight such cases have already been reported, while maternal uniparental disomy with a PREPL pathogenic mutation has never been involved.

methodsTrio whole-exome sequencing (WES), comparative genomic hybridization microarray (arry-CGH), and Sanger sequencing were performed on a 6-month-old girl with severe neonatal hypotonia and feeding difficulties. Also, the phenotype and genotype of reported CMS22 patients were reviewed.

resultsIn this female infant, we identified a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in PREPL (c.1282_1285delTTTG, p.Phe428Argfs*18) by trio-WES. Sanger sequencing confirmed that her mother was heterozygous and her father was normal. Trio-WES data showed that 96.70% (1668/1725) variants on chromosome 2 were homozygous and maternally inherited, suggesting maternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 2 [UPD(2)mat]. Array-CGH did not show copy number variants (CNVs) but revealed complete UPD(2).

conclusionTo date, nine patients with CMS22 have been reported including our patient, and we report the youngest and the first UPD(2)mat with PREPL novel homozygous pathogenic mutation case, which expand the mutation spectrum of PREPL gene.
