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

Heterozygous variants in CLTC, which encode the clathrin heavy chain protein, cause neurodevelopmental delay of varying severity, and often accompanied by dysmorphic features, seizures, hypotonia, and ataxia. To date, 28 affected individuals with CLTC variants have been reported, although their phenotypes have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report three novel de novo CLTC (NM_001288653.1) variants in three individuals with previously unreported clinical symptoms: c.3662_3664del:p.(Leu1221del) in individual 1, c.2878T>C:p.(Trp960Arg) in individual 2, and c.2430+1G>T:p.(Glu769_Lys810del) in individual 3. Consistent with previous reports, individuals with missense or small in-frame variants were more severely affected. Unreported symptoms included a brain defect (cystic lesions along the lateral ventricles of the brain in individuals 1 and 3), kidney findings (high-echogenic kidneys in individual 1 and agenesis of the left kidney and right vesicoureteral reflux in individual 3), respiratory abnormality (recurrent pneumonia in individual 1), and abnormal hematological findings (anemia in individual 1 and pancytopenia in individual 3). Of note, individual 1 even exhibited prenatal abnormality (fetal growth restriction, cystic brain lesions, high-echogenic kidneys, and a heart defect), suggesting that CLTC variants should be considered when abnormal prenatal findings in multiple organs are detected.
