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

backgroundIchthyosis is a heterogeneous group of Mendelian cornification disorders that includes syndromic and non-syndromic forms. Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis (ARCI) and Ichthyosis Linearis Circumflexa (ILC) belong to non-syndromic forms. Syndromic ichthyosis is rather a large group of heterogeneous diseases. Overlapping phenotypes and genotypes between these disorders is a major characteristic. Therefore, determining the specific genetic background for each form would be necessary.

methodsA total of 11 Tunisian patients with non-syndromic (8 with ARCI and 2 with ILC) and autosomal syndromic ichthyosis (1 patient) were screened by a custom Agilent HaloPlex multi-gene panel and the segregation of causative mutations were analyzed in available family members.

resultsClinical and molecular characterization, leading to genotype-phenotype correlation in 11 Tunisian patients was carried out. Overall, we identified 8 mutations in 5 genes. Thus, in patients with ARCI, we identified a novel (c.118T > C in NIPAL4) and 4 already reported mutations (c.534A > C in NIPAL4; c.788G > A and c.1042C > T in TGM1 and c.844C > T in CYP4F22). Yellowish severe keratoderma was found to be associated with NIPAL4 variations and brachydactyly to TGM1 mutations. Two novel variations (c.5898G > C and c.2855A > G in ABCA12) seemed to be features of ILC. Delexon13 in CERS3 was reported in a patient with syndromic ichthyosis.

conclusionsOur study further extends the spectrum of mutations involved in ichthyosis as well as clinical features that could help directing genetic investigation.
