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

backgroundPrimary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a heterogeneous disease with a diverse clinical and genetic spectrum among populations worldwide. Few cases of pediatric PCD have been reported from China. RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the clinical and genotypic characteristics of children with PCD in China? STUDY DESIGN AND

methodsClinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and genetic results obtained for 75 patients with PCD were reviewed retrospectively at a single center in China. Genetic sequencing was conducted using whole-exome screening.

resultsPatient median age at diagnosis was 7.0 years (range, 2 months-14 years). Of 75 patients, 88% (66/75) had chronic wet cough, 77% (58/75) had recurrent sinusitis, 76% (57/75) had bronchiectasis, 40% (30/75) had neonatal respiratory distress, and 28% (21/75) had coexistent asthma. Notably, postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) as first presentation was found in 8% of children (6/75). Genes with the highest incidence of mutations were DNAH11 (15/51), followed by DNAH5 (9/51), CCDC39 (5/51), DNAH1 (4/51), and CCNO (3/51). Four genes (DNAI1, HEATR2, RSPH9, and DNAAF3) each were respectively found in two patients, and seven genes (CCDC40, LRRC6, SPAG1, RSPH4A, ARMC4, CCDC114, and DNAH14, a novel gene) each were mutated once. No differences in classical clinical features were observed among patients with commonly observed PCD-associated genotypes. However, three of six PIBO patients carried DNAH1 mutations.

interpretationBesides typical clinical features, PIBO was observed as the first presentation of pediatric PCD in China. An association of the novel gene DNAH14 with PCD was observed, expanding the PCD genotypic spectrum.
