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

backgroundAlanyl-tRNA synthetase 1 (AARS1) gene encodes a ubiquitously expressed class II enzyme that catalyzes the attachment of alanine to the cognate tRNA. AARS1 mutations are frequently responsible for autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2N (CMT2N).

objectiveTo identify pathogenic mutation in the Korean patients with CMT and distal hereditary motor neuronopathy (dHMN).

methodsWe screened AARS1 mutations in 373 unrelated CMT families including 318 axonal CMT, 36 dHMN, and 19 intermediate CMT (Int-CMT) who were negative for 17p12 (PMP22) duplication or deletion using whole exome sequencing and targeted sequencing of CMT-related genes.

resultsThis study identified an early onset Int-CMT family harboring an AARS1 p.Arg329His mutation which was previously reported as pathogenic in French and Australian families. The mutation was located in the highly conserved tRNA binding domain and several in silico analyses suggested pathogenic prediction of the mutations. The patients harboring p.Arg329His showed clinically similar phenotypes of the early onset and electrophysiological intermediate type as those in Australian patients with same mutation. We also found a novel c.2564A>G (p.Gln855Arg) in a CMT2 patient, but its' pathogenic role was uncertain (variant of uncertain significance).

conclusionThis study suggests that the frequency of the AARS1 mutations appears to be quite low in Korean CMT. This is the first report of the AARS1 mutation in Korean CMT patients and will be helpful for the exact molecular diagnosis and treatment of Int-CMT patients.
