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

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common inherited cerebral small vessel disease. It is caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, which encodes a membranebound receptor protein with three main distinct functional domains. Thus far, several different NOTCH3 mutations, most of them cysteine altering variants, have been described and although they tend to cluster in certain exons, their distribution varies in different geographically populations. Therefore, in this study, we describe the mutation analysis of NOTCH3 gene in 24 Portuguese families with small vessel disease suspected to have CADASIL from the central region of Portugal. The genetic analysis revealed 15 different heterozygous variants, eight pathogenic cysteine altering variants, six cysteine sparing variants and one nonsense variant, located mainly in the exons 4, 8 and 11. Thus, in our population, the genetic testing should initially be focused on these exons. In addition, the genetic findings broaden the mutational and clinical spectrum of CADASIL related phenotype and provide additional evidences for genetic counseling and clinical management.
