Whole-Genome Sequencing Identifies Novel Heterozygous Mutation in ALMS1 in Three Men With Both Peyronie's and Dupuytren's Disease.
Article in Urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Peyronie's Disease (PD) is estimated to occur in up to 13% of males and has been associated with Dupuytren's Disease (DD). We identified 3 men with PD/DD and hypothesized that there may be a genetic association between the 2 diseases. Blood samples were collected from the participants and sent for whole genome sequencing. A rare non-synonymous mutation in the ALMS1 gene was identified in 3 men. Interestingly, ALMS1 is associated with TGF-b, and aberrant fibrosis. This pilot study generates the hypothesis that mutations in ALMS1 may predispose patients to development of PD/DD.
