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

Xia-Gibbs syndrome (XGS) is a very rare genetic condition. The clinical spectrum is very broad and variable. The phenotype and evolution in a Congolese boy with XGS have been reported. At 6 years he had speech delay, drooling, marked hyperactivity, attention deficit, aggressive behavior, and intellectual disability. Dysmorphological evaluation revealed strabismus, mild unilateral ptosis, uplifted ear lobes, flat philtrum, thin upper lip vermillion, high arched palate, and flat feet. Patient-only whole exome sequencing identified a known pathogenic frameshift variant in the AHDC1 gene [NM_001029882.3(AHDC1):c.1122dupC;(p.Gly375ArgfsTer3)]. The clinical follow-up revealed the deterioration of his fine motor skills and significant cerebellar phenotype including tremor, pes cavus, and gait instability at the age of 12 years. This patient was compared with three previously reported patients with the same variant but did not identify a consistent pattern in the evolution of symptoms with age.
