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

backgroundInterstitial deletions of 2q are rare. Those that have been reported show varying clinical manifestations according to the size of the deletion and the genomic region involved. METHOD AND

resultsWe describe a preterm male harboring a novel interstitial deletion encompassing the 2q21.2-q23.3 region of 2q, a deletion that has not been described previously. The patient had multiple congenital anomalies including agenesis of the corpus callosum, congenital cardiac defects, bilateral hydronephrosis, spontaneous intestinal perforation, hypospadias and cryptorchidism, sacral dimple and rocker-bottom feet. Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis revealed a de novo >18 Mb deletion at 2q21.1-q23.3, a region that included (605802, 611472 and 604593) OMIM genes.

conclusionTo the best of our knowledge this is the first report of a de novo interstitial deletion at 2q21.1-q23.3 in which haploinsufficiency of dose-sensitive genes is shown to contribute to the patient's phenotype.
