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

backgroundArboleda-Tham syndrome (ARTHS), caused by a pathogenic variant of KAT6A, is an autosomal dominant inherited genetic disorder characterized by various degrees of developmental delay, dysmorphic facial appearance, cardiac anomalies, and gastrointestinal problems. CASE PRESENTATION: A baby presented multiple facial deformities including a high arched and cleft palate, with philtral ridge and vermilion indentation, a prominent nasal bridge, a thin upper lip, low-set ears, an epicanthal fold, and cardiac malformations. Whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a heterozygous nonsense mutation in exon 8 of the KAT6A gene (c.1312C>T, p.[Arg438*]) at 2 months of age. After a diagnosis of ARTHS, an expressive language delay was observed during serial assessments of developmental milestones.

conclusionsIn this study, we describe a case with a novel KAT6A variant first identified in Korea. This case broadens the scope of clinical features of ARTHS and emphasizes that WES is necessary for early diagnosis in patients with dysmorphic facial appearances, developmental delay, and other congenital abnormalities.
