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

backgroundOculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome is a rare X-linked dominant syndrome, characterized by radiculomegaly, congenital cataracts, dysmorphic facial features, and congenital heart disease. Because of the rarity, this syndrome could be misdiagnosed by the clinician, especially for the infant who may present only one to two systems involved. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report a 3-month-old female infant presenting with typical clinical manifestations of oculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome, like ocular, facial, cardiac, and skeletal abnormalities, and the genetic analyses of the proband and her parents were provided. Genetic evaluations were completed using whole exon sequencing, which revealed a novel heterozygous mutation between exons 7 and 14 of the BCOR gene(OMIM:300485) in this patient but not in her parents. This mutation is likely to encode a premature stop codon producing a truncated protein. Our patient was diagnosed early enough to allow for the cardiac defects to be treated first, and she will be closely followed up to ensure that any new presentations are treated in a timeous manner.

conclusionThis patient fits the diagnostic criteria for oculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome and is the youngest oculo-facio-cardio-dental syndrome patient ever reported, which is most important for her prognosis. In addition, this manuscript also describes a novel potenitally causative mutation for this syndrome.
