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

backgroundRobinow syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of multiple systems. Due to its low prevalence and diversity of phenotypic presentation it has been challenging to definitively characterize features of Robinow syndrome.

methodsWe performed DNA extraction, whole-exome sequencing analysis, and mutation analysis of DVL1 to obtain genetic data on the patient. We subsequently analyzed the patient's clinical and genetic data.

resultsThe proband was a 3-month-old female infant who suffered from significant global developmental delay and metabolic disorder. The main clinical manifestations included facial dysmorphisms, bilateral dislocation of the hip joint, and hearing impairment. Whole-exome sequencing of the patient's DNA revealed a heterozygous mutation of c.1620delC in DVL1. Analysis with the MutationTaster application indicated that both were pathogenic (probability = 1), causing frameshift mutations affecting 107 amino acids (p.S542Vfs*107). Significant structural changes were identified in the amino acid sequence after the WNT signaling-related DEP domain site was predicted using the AlphaFold Protein structure database. The stability of the three main domains was then evaluated using SWISS-MODEL, and indicated that the mutation did not alter the DIX, PDZ, or DEP domain sequences. Because all reported pathogenic mutations were located near the DEP domain, we speculated that structural changes around the DEP domain may have impaired WNT domain function and WNT signaling, resulting in Robinow syndrome.

conclusionThe present case suggests that molecular genetic screening is useful for the diagnosis of developmental disorders, particularly in children with a positive family history. In the current patient all the related pathological variants were located within a narrow locus. This report expands the known manifestations of Robinow syndrome and contributes to refinement of its molecular basis.
