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

Purpose: Familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 (FPLD2) patients generally develop a wide variety of severe metabolic complications. However, they are not usually affected by primary cardiomyopathy and conduction system disturbances, although a few cases of FPLD2 and cardiomyopathy have been reported in the literature. These were all due to amino-terminal heterozygous lamin A/C mutations, which are considered as new forms of overlapping syndromes. Methods and Results: Here we report the identification of a female patient with FPLD2 due to a heterozygous missense variant c.604G>A in the exon 3 of the Conclusions: This report supports the idea that there are "atypical forms" of FPLD2 with cardiomyopathy, especially when a pathogenic variant affects the lamin A/C head or alpha-helical rod domain. It also highlights how increased understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlation could help clinicians to schedule personalized monitoring of the lipodystrophic patient, in order to prevent uncommon but possible devastating manifestations, including arrhythmias and sudden death.
