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

ERBB4 encodes the tyrosine kinase receptor HER4, a critical regulator of normal cell function and neurodevelopmental processes in the brain. One of the key ligands of HER4 is neureglin-1 (NRG1), and the HER4-NRG1 signalling pathway is essential in neural crest cell migration, and neuronal differentiation. Pharmacological inactivation of HER4 has been shown to hasten the progression of epileptogenesis in rodent models, and heterozygous ERBB4 null mice are shown to have cognitive deficits and delayed motor development. Thus far there is only a single case report in the literature of a heterozygous ERBB4 deletion in a patient with intellectual disability (ID). We identified nine subjects from five unrelated families with chromosome 2q34 deletions, resulting in heterozygous intragenic loss of multiple exons of ERBB4, associated with either non-syndromic ID or generalised epilepsy. In one family, the deletion segregated with ID in five affected relatives. Overall, this case series further supports that haploinsufficiency of ERBB4 leads to non-syndromic intellectual disability or epilepsy.
