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

Individuals harboring pathogenic variants in ARHGEF9, encoding an essential submembrane protein for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic synapses named collybistin, show intellectual disability (ID), facial dysmorphism, behavioral disorders, and epilepsy. Only few affected females carrying large chromosomal rearrangements involving ARHGEF9 have been reported so far. Through next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based panels, we identified two single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in ARHGEF9 in two females with neurodevelopmental features. Sanger sequencing revealed that these variants were de novo. The X-inactivation pattern in peripheral blood cells was random. We report the first affected females harboring de novo SNVs in ARHGEF9, expanding the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of ARHGEF9-related neurodevelopmental disorder in females.
