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

backgroundRecently hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) caused by variants in DNAJC12 was reported and this suggested a new strategy for diagnosis. But DNAJC12-associated HPA is a rare in Chinese population so far.

methodsThe clinical information and blood samples from the patient and his family members were collected and analyzed. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was used to identify the causative gene.

resultsWe reported a newborn patient with HPA, having excluded the causes in common genes associated with HPA. By using whole-exome sequencing, novel compound heterozygosity mutations in DNAJC12 were found, namely c.306C>G (p.His102Gln) and c.182delA (p.Lys61Argfs*6). Administering a diet with low phenylalanine combined with tetrahydrobiopterin and neurotransmitter precursors were shown to be effective in preventing neurodevelopmental delay for these patients.

conclusionOur finding confirms the diagnosis of DNAJC12-associated HPA and suggests that genetic detection of DNAJC12 should be considered when newborn screening results are positive for HPA.
