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

background3MC syndrome type 3 is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the COLEC10 gene besides other genes like COLEC11 and MASP1. This disorder is characterized by facial dysmorphism, cleft lip and palate, postnatal growth deficiency, cognitive impairment, hearing loss, craniosynostosis, radioulnar synostosis, genital and vesicorenal anomalies, cardiac anomalies, caudal appendage, and umbilical hernia.

methodsIn the present study, whole-exome sequencing was performed in order to identify disease causing variant in an Iranian 7-year-old affected girl with craniosynostosis, dolichocephaly, blepharoptosis, clinodactyly of the 5th finger, high myopia, long face, micrognathia, patent ductus arteriosus, downslanted palpebral fissures, telecanthus, and epicanthus inversus. Identified variant confirmation in the patient and segregation analysis in her family were performed using Sanger sequencing method.

resultsA novel homozygous frameshift deletion variant [NM_006438.5: c.128_129delCA; p.(Thr43AsnfsTer9)] was identified within the COLEC10 gene. Up to now, only three 3MC syndrome patients with mutations in the COLEC10 gene have been reported, and here, we report the fourth patient and the first homozygous frameshift variant.

conclusionOther genes and factors responsible for 3MC syndrome occurrence are remained to be discovered. We believe further investigation of the genes in the lectin complement pathway is needed to be done for the identification of other causes of this disease.
