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

Any change in either the short (p) or long (q) arm of chromosome six can result in a variety of disorders.  A two-year-old female child came to us with a history of sudden onset generalized tonic-clonic seizure. She had a syndromic face with frontal bossing and palpable thinning of the right lower lip and an apparent facial asymmetry while crying due to the hypoplasia of the right depressor angularis oris. Her joints were hypermobile and hypotonic. Chromosomal karyotyping exhibited a normal female karyotype, but pathogenic microarray genetic evaluation showed a loss of approximately 783 kb of the 6q27 terminus. She was diagnosed with chromosome 6q27 terminal deletion and managed with anti-seizure medications.  Chromosome 6q27 terminal deletion can present with an array of structural and developmental anomalies. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the typical phenotypic and distinctive clinical features of congenital chromosome 6q27 terminal deletion syndrome for early diagnosis and intervention.
