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

Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), the death of a child that remains unexplained after a complete autopsy and investigation, is a rare and poorly understood entity. This case report describes a 3-year-old boy with history of language delay and ptosis, who died suddenly in his sleep without known cause. A pathogenic de novo frameshift mutation in BRPF1, a gene which has been associated with the syndrome of Intellectual Developmental Disorder with Dysmorphic Facies and Ptosis (IDDDFP), was identified during a post-mortem evaluation. The finding of a pathogenic variant in BRPF1, which has not previously been associated with sudden death, in an SUDC case has implications for this child's family and contributes to the broader field of SUDC research. This case demonstrates the utility of post-mortem genetic testing in SUDC.
