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

Mutations in histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HARS1), an enzyme that charges transfer RNA with the amino acid histidine in the cytoplasm, have only been associated to date with autosomal recessive Usher syndrome type III and autosomal dominant Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2W. Using massive parallel sequencing, we identified bi-allelic HARS1 variants in a child (c.616G>T, p.Asp206Tyr and c.730delG, p.Val244Cysfs*6) and in two sisters (c.1393A>C, p.Ile465Leu and c.910_912dupTTG, p.Leu305dup), all characterized by a multisystem ataxic syndrome. All mutations are rare, segregate with the disease, and are predicted to have a significant effect on protein function. Functional studies helped to substantiate their disease-related roles. Indeed, yeast complementation assays showing that one out of two mutations in each patient is loss-of-function, and the reduction of messenger RNA and protein levels and enzymatic activity in patient's skin-derived fibroblasts, together support the pathogenicity of the identified HARS1 variants in the patient phenotypes. Thus, our efforts expand the allelic and clinical spectrum of HARS1-related disease.
