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

objectiveTo identify the genetic cause of complex neuropathy in two siblings from a consanguineous family.

methodsThe patients were recruited from our clinic. Muscle biopsy and whole-exome sequencing (WES) were performed. Fibroblasts cell lines from the index patient, unaffected parents, and three normal controls were used for cDNA analysis and western blot.

resultsThe index patient was a 29-year-old male with clinical phenotype of syndactyly, pes cavus, swallowing difficulties, vision problem, imbalance, and muscle weakness. The sibling had similar, but milder symptoms. Nerve conduction studies and electromyography of both patients suggested sensory-motor axonal neuropathy. Muscle biopsy showed a feature of necklace fibres. WES identified a novel homozygous frameshift deletion (c.5477-5478del; p.1826-1826del) in exon 40 of the SBF1 gene in the two siblings, while both parents and the unaffected sibling were heterozygous carriers. Functional analysis showed a markedly reduced level of MTMR5 protein encoded by SBF1 in the index case. The levels of MTMR5 protein in unaffected parents were similar to those found in controls.

conclusionA novel homozygous frameshift deletion in SBF1 was identified in this family. Sensory-motor axonal neuropathy and necklace fibres in biopsy were the major features expanding the phenotypic spectrum of SBF1-related recessive syndromic neuropathy.
