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

backgroundDesbuquois dysplasia type 2 (DBQD2) is an infrequent dysplasia with a wide range of symptoms, including facial deformities, growth retardation and short long bones. It is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the XYLT1 gene that encodes xylosyltransferase-1. CASE PRESENTATION: We studied an aborted fetus from Iranian non-consanguineous parents who was therapeutically aborted at 19 weeks of gestation. Ultrasound examinations at 18 weeks of gestation revealed growth retardation in her long bones and some facial problems. Whole-exome sequencing was performed on the aborted fetus which revealed compound heterozygous XYLT1 mutations: c.742G>A; p.(Glu248Lys) and c.1537 C>A; p.(Leu513Met). Sanger sequencing and segregation analysis confirmed the compound heterozygosity of these variants in XYLT1.

conclusionThe c.1537 C>A; p.(Leu513Met) variant has not been reported in any databases so far and therefore is novel. This is the third compound heterozygote report in XYLT1 and further supports the high heterogeneity of this disease.
