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

Alopecia universalis (AU) congenital, known as generalized atrichia, is a severe form of autosomal recessive alopecia that results in complete hair loss of scalp and body. Mutations in the human hairless gene (HR) are associated with the phenotype of the disease. A consanguineous couple who had a child with the generalized atrichia sign referred to us for genetic counseling. According to the patient's symptoms and after thorough examination and history taking, the HR gene was the candidate gene to be assessed and analyzed. For this purpose targeted primers were designed for all exons of the HR gene followed by running PCR for exons amplification. Finally, the PCR products were sequenced. Whole-gene sequence analysis revealed a nonsense homozygous mutation in exon 6 that, according to the ACMG guide, is a pathogenic variant. Sequence analysis of the exon in parents reveals that they are heterozygout for the non-sense mutation, as well.
