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

backgroundZhu-Tokita-Takenouchi-Kim (ZTTK, OMIM# 617140) syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by heterozygous variants in the SON gene (OMIM#182465, GenBank#NC_000021.9). There are only 33 cases and 26 causative SON variants reported to date since the first report in 2015. Here, we report a new case of ZTTK syndrome and a de novo disease-causing SON variant.

methodsWe conducted whole-exome sequencing (WES) to obtain genetic data of the patient. The clinical and genetic data of the patient were analyzed.

resultsThe clinical features of our patient were strikingly similar to previously reported cases. Notably, our patient had unique presentations, including a bridged palmar crease in the left hand and growth hormone deficiency. The c.5297del de novo variant in SON causes an amino change (p.Ser1766Leufs*7).

conclusionOur report expands the mutant spectrum of the SON gene and refines the genotype-phenotype map of ZTTK syndrome. Our findings also highlighted the importance of WES for early diagnosis of ZTTK syndrome, which may improve diagnostic procedures for affected individuals.
