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

purposeTo identify the disease gene in 40 patients with female infertility due to oocyte maturation arrest.

methodsGenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 40 patients and their family members. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on the patients, and the PATL2 mutations were identified and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Harmfulness of the mutations was analyzed by SIFT, Polyphen-2, Mutation Taster, and M-CAP software, and we used western immunoblotting analysis to check the effect of mutations on PATL2 protein expression in vitro.

resultsTwo novel missense mutations c.1528C>A (p.Pro510Thr) and c.1376C>A (p.Ser459Tyr) in PATL2 were identified in three patients (7.5%) from two consanguineous families in our cohort. We found that mutations in PATL2 resulted in variable oocyte phenotypes, including GV arrest, MI arrest, and morphologic abnormalities. Western immunoblotting analysis showed that the expression levels of the two novel mutant PATL2 proteins decreased significantly.

conclusionsWe identified two novel PATL2 mutations that caused oocyte maturation arrest and abnormal morphology, and variable phenotypes in patients.
