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

Introduction: Kallmann syndrome (KS) is idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with olfactory loss or decline. Waardenburg syndrome type II (WS2) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease, characterized by congenital sensorineural deafness and abnormal pigmentation of the iris, hair, and skin. Recently, mutations in the well-known WS pathogenic gene Methods: Detailed histories were collected through questionnaires and physical examination. Blood samples of the patient and his family members were collected after obtaining informed consents. Suspected mutations were amplified and verified by Sanger sequencing after the next generation sequencing of related genes. The raw sequence data were compared to the known gene sequence data in publicly available sequence data bases using Burrows-Wheeler Aligner software (BWA, 0.7.12-r1039). Results: A 28-year-old male patient sought treatment for hypogonadism and the absence of secondary sexual characteristics. In addition, he showed signs of obesity, hyposmia, sensorineural hearing loss, and blue iris. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the olfactory bulb showed small bilateral olfactory bulbs and tracts and diaphragma cerebri. MRI of the pituitary gland revealed a flat pituitary gland in the sella. Laboratory examination demonstrated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, pituitary hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, and the presence of insulin resistance with normal blood glucose levels. Sequencing of the SOX10 gene showed a 20 bp insertion in between coding bases 1,179 and 1,180 (c.1179_1180insACTATGGCTCAGCCTTCCCC). This results in a frame-shifting mutation of the 394th amino acid serine in exon4 with the resulting the amino acid sequence of the protein predicted to be TMAQPSP PSPAPSLTTL TISPQDPIMA TRARPLASTR PSPIWGPRSG PSTRPSLTPA PQGPSPTAPH TGSSQYIRHC PGPKGGPVAT TPRPAPAPSL CALFLAHLRP GGGSGGG*.
