Intellectual disability in two Chinese sisters caused by a 3p26.3p25.3 microdeletion and a 14q32.13q32.33 microduplication inherited from the mother with 46, XX, t (3, 14) (p25; q32).

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.
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
backgroundGenetic factors associated with intellectual disability (ID) include chromosomal aberrations, copy number variations (CNVs), and pathogenic variants. Identifying the genetic etiologies is beneficial for patient classification, therapy, management, and prognostic evaluation. Emerging genetic tests are helpful in identifying these genetic causes.
methodsWe enrolled two girl siblings with ID. Trio whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Copy number variation sequencing (CNV-Seq) were performed for genetic molecular analysis in these probands and their parents. The parents also accepted high-resolution G-banded karyotype studies.
resultsNo significant homozygous or heterozygous variants were identified through WES. By CNV-seq, we identified an abnormal 3p26.3p25.3 microdeletion and 14q32.13q32.33 microduplication in the two girl siblings but not in their parents. A balanced translocation 46, XX, t (3, 14) (p25; q32) was found in their mother.
conclusionThe affected siblings have similar phenotype, including ID, short stature, and microcephaly. Their mother had a history of seven first-trimester miscarriages and one elective termination because of multiple malformations. This abnormal karyotype was also thought to be responsible for the mother's recurrent miscarriage. WES in combination with CNV-seq analysis is very helpful for identification of the genetic causes of ID without positive karyotype findings.
