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

backgroundThe microdeletion of chromosome 13 has been rarely reported. Here, we report a 14-year old Asian female with a de novo microdeletion on 13q12.3. CASE PRESENTATION: The child suffered mainly from two types of epileptic seizures: partial onset seizures and myoclonic seizures, accompanied with intellectual disability, developmental delay and minor dysmorphic features. The electroencephalogram disclosed slow waves in bilateral temporal, together with generalized spike-and-slow waves, multiple-spike-and-slow waves and slow waves in bilateral occipitotemporal regions. The exome sequencing showed no pathogenic genetic variation in the patient's DNA sample. While the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis revealed a de novo microdeletion spanning 2.324 Mb, within the cytogenetic band 13q12.3.

conclusionsThe epilepsy may be associated with the mutation of KATNAL1 gene or the deletion unmasking a recessive mutation on the other allele, and our findings could provide a phenotypic expansion.
