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

Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 7 (PRMT7) encodes an arginine methyltransferase central to a number of fundamental biological processes, mutations in which result in an autosomal recessive developmental disorder characterized by short stature, brachydactyly, intellectual developmental disability and seizures (SBIDDS). To date, fewer than 15 patients with biallelic mutations in PRMT7 have been documented. Here we report brothers from a consanguineous Iraqi family presenting with a developmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, shortened stature, facial dysmorphisms, brachydactyly, and kidney dysfunction. In both affected brothers, whole genome sequencing (WGS) identified a novel homozygous substitution in PRMT7 (ENST00000339507.5), c.1097 G > A (p.Cys366Tyr), considered to account for the majority of the phenotypic presentation. Rare compound heterozygous mutations in the dysplasia-associated perlecan-encoding HSPG2 gene (ENST00000374695.3) were also found (c.10721-2dupA, p.Ser71Asn and c.212 G > A), potentially accounting for the kidney dysfunction. In addition to expanding the known mutational spectrum of variably expressive PRMT7 mutations alongside potential digenic inheritance with HSPG2, this report underlines the diagnostic utility of a WGS-guided analysis in the detection of rare genetic disorders.
