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

Microcephaly is defined by a head circumference that is at least two standard deviations below the mean for age and sex of the general population in a specific race. Primary microcephaly may occur as an isolated inborn error, which may damage to the central nervous system or as part of the congenital abnormalities associated with genetic syndrome, affecting multiple organ systems. One of the syndromic forms consists of microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay caused by biallelic mutations in the gene that encode polynucleotide kinase 3' - phosphatase protein (PNKP). In this article, we reported a newborn male who presented with microcephaly, severe developmental delay, and early-onset refractories seizures, caused by a novel homozygous mutation of the
