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

objectiveRolandic epilepsy (RE) is among the most common focal epilepsies in childhood. For the majority of patients with RE and atypical RE (ARE), the etiology remains elusive. We thus screened patients with RE/ARE in order to detect disease-causing variants..

methodsA trios-based whole-exome sequencing approach was performed in a cohort of 28 patients with RE/ARE. Clinical data and EEGs were reviewed. Variants were validated by Sanger sequencing.

resultsTwo compound heterozygous missense variants p.Val272Ile/p.Asn3028Ser and p.Ala3657Val/p.Met4419Val of ADGRV1 were identified in two unrelated familial cases of RE/ARE. All the variants were in the calcium exchanger β domain and were suggested to be damaging by at least one web-based prediction tool. These variants are not present or are present at a very low minor allele frequency in the gnomAD database. Previously, biallelic ADGRV1 variants (p.Gly2756Arg and p.Glu4410Lys) have been observed in RE, consistent with the observation in this study and supporting the association between ADGRV1 variants and RE. Additionally, a de novo mutation, p.Asp668Asn, in GRIN2B was identified in a sporadic case of ARE, and a missense variant, p.Asn1551Ser, in RyR2 was identified in a family with RE with incomplete penetrance. These genes are all calcium homeostasis associated genes, suggesting the potential effect of calcium homeostasis in RE/ARE.

conclusionsThe results from the present study suggest that the genes ADGRV1, GRIN2B, and RyR2 are associated with RE/ARE. These data link defects in neuronal intracellular calcium homeostasis to RE/ARE pathogenesis implicating that these defects plays an important role in the development of these conditions.
