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

importanceThe ATP-binding cassette subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3) protein plays a vital role in surfactant homeostasis. Mutations in the

objectiveTo classify ABCA3 mutations in a manner similar to CFTR mutations in order to take advantage of recent advances in therapeutics.

methodsSequence homology between the CFTR protein and the ABCA3 protein was established. The region of CFTR that is a target for the new potentiator class of drugs was of particular interest. We performed a literature search to obtain all published mutations that were thought to be disease causing. We classified these mutations using the established CFTR classification system. When possible, we drew on previous experimental classification of ABCA3 mutations.

resultsAlthough the proteins share the same overall structure, only a 19% identity was established between CFTR and ABCA3. The CFTR therapeutic target region has a 22% homology with the corresponding ABCA3 region. Totally 233 unique protein mutations were identified. All protein mutations were classified and mapped to a schematic diagram of the ABCA3 protein.

interpretationThis new classification system for ABCA3, based on CFTR classification, will likely aid further research of clinical outcomes and identification of mutation-tailored therapeutics, with the aim for improving clinical care for patients with ABCA3 mutations.
