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

We present the case of a three-year-old girl with normal family history who was admitted to our hospital for medical recovery. The patient had microcephaly, pontocerebellar hypoplasia, slight facial dysmorphism, axial hypotonia, epileptic seizures, absent walking skills and severe speech delay. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous intronic variant in the CASK gene, namely CASK c.278 + 5G>A, which has never been reported in the medical literature or in other databases (gnomAD, ClinVar, HGMD). In mammals as well as more distant species, the G nucleotide is fully conserved at this position, suggesting it may not tolerate variation. In silico tools predict the substitution to be deleterious. Pathogenic mutations of these gene are responsible of mental retardation and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MICPCH) syndrome, which overlaps completely with our patient's phenotype.
