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 mitochondrial encephalomyopathies represent a clinically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders. The clinical phenotype of patients could be explained by mutations of mitochondria-related genes, notably SUCLG1 and SUCLA2. Here, we presented a 5-year-old boy with clinical features of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy from Iran. Also, a systematic review was performed to explore the involvement of SUCLG1 mutations in published mitochondrial encephalomyopathies cases. Genotyping was performed by implementing whole-exome sequencing. Moreover, quantification of the mtDNA content was performed by real-time qPCR. We identified a novel, homozygote missense variant chr2: 84676796 A > T (hg19) in the SUCLG1 gene. This mutation substitutes Cys with Ser at the 60-position of the SUCLG1 protein. Furthermore, the in-silico analysis revealed that the mutated position in the genome is well conserved in mammalians, that implies mutation in this residue would possibly result in phenotypic consequences. Here, we identified a novel, homozygote missense variant chr2: 84676796 A > T in the SUCLG1 gene. Using a range of experimental and in silico analysis, we found that the mutation might explain the observed phenotype in the family.
