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

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an essential coenzyme involved in over 400 cellular reactions. During embryogenesis, mammals synthesize NAD de novo from dietary l -tryptophan via the kynurenine pathway. Biallelic, inactivating variants in three genes encoding enzymes of this biosynthesis pathway (KYNU, HAAO, and NADSYN1) disrupt NAD synthesis and have been identified in patients with multiple malformations of the heart, kidney, vertebrae, and limbs; these patients have Congenital NAD Deficiency Disorder HAAO and four families with biallelic variants in KYNU. These patients present similarly with multiple malformations of the heart, kidney, vertebrae, and limbs, of variable severity. We show that each variant identified in these patients results in loss-of-function, revealed by a significant reduction in NAD levels via yeast genetic complementation assays. For the first time, missense mutations are identified as a cause of malformation and shown to disrupt enzyme function. These missense and frameshift variants cause moderate to severe NAD deficiency in yeast, analogous to insufficient synthesized NAD in patients. We hereby expand the genotypic and corresponding phenotypic spectrum of Congenital NAD Deficiency Disorder.
