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

In recent years, variants in immunoglobulin superfamily member 1 (IGSF1) have been associated with congenital hypopituitarism. Initially, IGSF1 variants were only reported in patients with central hypothyroidism (CeH) and macroorchidism. Later on, IGSF1 variants were also reported in patients with additional endocrinopathies, sometimes without macroorchidism. We studied IGSF1 as a new candidate gene for patients with combined CeH and growth hormone deficiency (GHD). We screened 80 male and 14 female Dutch patients with combined CeH and GHD for variants in the extracellular region of IGSF1, and we report detailed biomedical and clinical data of index cases and relatives. We identified three variants in our patient cohort, of which two were novel variants of unknown significance (p.L570I and c.1765+37C>A). In conclusion, we screened 94 patients with CeH and GHD and found variants in IGSF1 of which p.L570I could be of functional relevance. We provide detailed phenotypic data of two boys with the p.C947R variant and their large family. The remarkable phenotype of some of the relatives sheds new light on the phenotypic spectrum of IGSF1 variants.
