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

In the era of next generation sequencing (NGS), genetic testing for inherited disorders identifies an ever-increasing number of variants whose pathogenicity remains unclear. These variants of uncertain significance (VUS) limit the reach of genetic testing in clinical practice. The VUS for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the most common familial heart disease, constitute over 60% of entries for missense variants shown in ClinVar database. We have studied a novel VUS (c.1809T>G-p.I603M) in the most frequently mutated gene in HCM, MYBPC3, which codes for cardiac myosin-binding protein C (cMyBPC). Our determinations of pathogenicity integrate bioinformatics evaluation and functional studies of RNA splicing and protein thermodynamic stability. In silico prediction and mRNA analysis indicated no alteration of RNA splicing induced by the variant. At the protein level, the p.I603M mutation maps to the C4 domain of cMyBPC. Although the mutation does not perturb much the overall structure of the C4 domain, the stability of C4 I603M is severely compromised as detected by circular dichroism and differential scanning calorimetry experiments. Taking into account the highly destabilizing effect of the mutation in the structure of C4, we propose reclassification of variant p.I603M as likely pathogenic. Looking into the future, the workflow described here can be used to refine the assignment of pathogenicity of variants of uncertain significance in MYBPC3.
