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

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a genetic skin disorder that shows heterogeneous clinical fragility. The patients develop skin blisters congenitally or in the early years of life at the dermo-epithelial junctions, including erosions, hyperkeratosis over the palms and soles. The other associated features are hypotrichosis on the scalp, absent or dystrophic nails, and dental anomalies. Molecular diagnosis through whole-exome sequencing (WES) has become one of the successful tool in clinical setups. In this study, three Pakhtun families from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan were ascertained. WES analysis of a proband in each family revealed two novel variants (COL17A1: NM_000494.4: c.4041T>G: p.Y1347
