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

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) has been reported as the leading cause of mental retardation (MR) that predominantly involves males compared to females. An over-expansion of CGG repeats in the 5' untranslated region of the FMR1 gene plays the primary role in this disease. In this study, we encountered a homozygote female patient affected by FMR1 expansion mutation. Surprisingly, she had inherited her full-mutated alleles from two different ancestors. This condition is an extremely rare case of FXS. After accurate genetic counseling, family members were referred to the laboratory for genetic testing. Karyotype with two X chromosomes was the finding after the G-banding study of the proband. Molecular analysis indicated that she was a female with full-mutated or pre-mutated alleles on both of her X chromosomes. It is a rare phenomenon that we detected in this patient. We have concluded that a combination of allele instability during oogenesis and inheritance of two alleles are the leading cause of MR in the presented case.
