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

The diagnosis of Mendelian disorders following uninformative exome and genome sequencing remains a challenging and often unmet need. Following uninformative exome and genome sequencing of a family quartet including two siblings with suspected mitochondrial disorder, RNA sequencing (RNAseq) was pursued in one sibling. Long-read amplicon sequencing was used to determine and quantify transcript structure. Immunoblotting studies and quantitative proteomics were performed to demonstrate functional impact. Differential expression analysis of RNAseq data identified significantly decreased expression of the mitochondrial OXPHOS Complex I subunit NDUFB10 associated with a cryptic exon in intron 1 of NDUFB10, that included an in-frame stop codon. The cryptic exon contained a rare intronic variant that was homozygous in both affected siblings. Immunoblot and quantitative proteomic analysis of fibroblasts revealed decreased abundance of Complex I subunits, providing evidence of isolated Complex I deficiency. Through multiomic analysis we present data implicating a deep intronic variant in NDUFB10 as the cause of mitochondrial disease in two individuals, providing further support of the gene-disease association. This study highlights the importance of transcriptomic and proteomic analyses as complementary diagnostic tools in patients undergoing genome-wide diagnostic evaluation.
