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

backgroundCerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited small vessel disease caused by mutations in NOTCH3 gene with remarkable phenotypic heterogeneity. Cases of CADASIL associated with homozygous NOTCH3 mutations are rare and subsequently understudied. In this study, we investigate the genetic and phenotypic features within patients of CADASIL with homozygous NOTCH3 mutations. CASE PRESENTATION: We recruited two affected individuals with CADASIL from a mainland Chinese family. The proband (Patient 1), a 60-year-old male, presented with slow progressive gait instability, severe cognitive impairment, and emotional disorder for more than 2 years with a history of ischemic stroke and hypertension. His younger brother (Patient 2) presented with apparent gait difficulties, dysarthria as well as cognitive decline at 59 years old. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffused white matter lesions involving bilateral periventricular white matter, semioval center region, and anterior temporal lobes. Molecular genetic testing identified a homozygous variant, c.1759C > T (p.R587C), in NOTCH3 gene in both patients. Pathological analysis revealed granular osmiophilic material (GOM) deposits in small arterial walls of skin from the proband. The diagnosis of CADASIL was confirmed.

conclusionsOur cases of CADASIL with homozygous mutation c.1759C > T (p.R587C) in NOTCH3 share similar manifestation to the patients with heterozygous same mutation reported previously. Other than genetic factors, vascular risk factors or environmental factors might contribute to the phenotypic variation of CADASIL.
