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

Brain malformations have heterogeneous genetic backgrounds. Tubulinopathies are a wide range of brain malformations caused by variants in tubulin and microtubules-associated genes. Recently biallelic variants in TTC5, also known as stress responsive activator of p300, have been reported in 11 patients from seven families with developmental delay, intellectual disability, and brain malformations. Here, we report compound heterozygous frameshift variants in TTC5 in a Japanese boy who showed severe psychomotor developmental delay and pseudobulbar palsy with growth failure. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed a simplified gyral pattern and undetectable anterior limb of the internal capsule, suggesting tubulinopathies. Immunoblotting using lymphoblastoid cells derived from the patient showed undetectable TTC5 protein. Ttc5 silencing by RNA interference in Neuro2a cells reduced Tubulin β3 protein level and caused abnormal cell cycle. Our report suggests a possible link between TTC5-related brain malformation and tubulinopathies.
