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

Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) is a rare disorder characterized by thyroid irregularities, neurological issues, and developmental delay. In this article, we reported a patient with AHDS who presented with severe developmental delay and failure to thrive in the setting of thyroid irregularities. The patient had missense mutations in the SLC16A2 gene, which codes for monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8). We identified two single-nucleotide variants, including guanine to alanine substitution at position +1 of intron 5 (IVS5+1 G>A) and guanine to alanine substitution at position 1400 of intron 1 (c.1400G>A). This variant has not been previously reported as pathogenic in a patient diagnosed with AHDS, as missense and in-frame single amino-acid deletions have not generally been associated with severe neurodevelopment sequela. We review the clinical and laboratory findings of this rare condition. We will discuss the value of early recognition and diagnosis based on promising clinical trials to treat the neurological and developmental sequela associated with AHDS.
