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

aimsTo report a novel mutation associated with developmental delay, epilepsy, and neonatal diabetes-DEND Syndrome, responsive to a novel management combination.

methodsWe describe the investigation, treatment, and genetic diagnosis of a newborn diagnosed with DEND syndrome.

resultsThe patient was found to be de-novo heterozygous for pathogenic KCNJ11 missense variant: c.190G > A, p. (Val64Met), associated with DEND syndrome, responsive to a combination of super high doses of sulfonylurea (SU) and oral high-dose steroids. A single case was reported so far due to this mutation, presenting with severe DEND syndrome, treated by insulin only. His phenotypic description and management during 18 months, demonstrates this mutation is responsive to super-high doses of SU combined with high dose 6 weeks steroids protocol.

conclusionsWe have identified a heterozygous missense mutation as the etiology for severe DEND syndrome in a one-day old neonate, presenting with asymptomatic hyperglycemia, responsive to a novel management combination.
