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

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common complex inflammatory disease; however, up to now distinct genes with monogenic pattern have not been reported for this disease. In the present study, we report a large Iranian family with several affected members with AS. DNAs of the three affected and two healthy cases were chosen for performing whole-exome sequencing (WES). After several filtering steps, candidate variants in the following genes were detected: RELN, DNMT1, TAF4β, MUC16, DLG2, and FAM208. However, segregation analysis confirmed the association of only one variant, c.7456A>G; p.(Ser2486Gly) in the RELN gene with AS in this family. In addition, in silico predictions supported the probable pathogenicity of this variant. In this study, for the first time, we report a novel variant in the RELN gene, c.7456A>G; p.(Ser2486Gly), which completely co-segregates with AS. This association suggests potential insights into the pathophysiological bases of AS and it could broaden horizons toward new therapeutic strategies.
