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

Background: Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency (PCD; MIM#266150) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a wide range of clinical features, including delayed neurodevelopment, elevated pyruvate levels, lactic acidosis, elevated ketone levels, and hyperammonemia. The pyruvate carboxylase (PC) gene was identified to be the disease-causing gene for PCD. A novel homozygous splice variant in the PC gene was identified in a Chinese boy, but the pathogenicity is still unclear. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of this splice-site variant by reverse transcription analysis. Methods: We reported the clinical course of a 20-month-old Chinese pediatric patient who was diagnosed with PCD using whole-exome sequencing (WES). The effects of the variant on mRNA splicing were analyzed through the transcript analysis Results: The results of metabolic blood and urine screening suggested PCD by employing tandem mass spectrometry. WES revealed a novel homozygous splice-site variant (c.1825+5G>A) in the PC gene. Conclusion: Thus, c.1825+5G>A was established as a pathogenic variant, thereby enriching the mutational spectrum of the PC gene and providing a basis for the genetic diagnosis of PCD.
