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 the literature, deletions in the 2p16.3 region of the neurexin gene (NRXN1) are associated with cognitive impairment, and other neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, autism, and Pitt-Hopkins-like syndrome 2. In this paper, we present twins with deletion 2p16.3 of the NRXN1 gene using a comparative genomic hybridization array. The two children had a dual diagnosis consisting of mild cognitive impairment and neurodevelopmental delay. Furthermore, they showed a dysmorphic phenotype characterized by facio-cranial disproportion, turricephalus, macrocrania, macrosomia, strabismus, and abnormal conformation of both auricles with low implantation. The genetic analysis of the family members showed the presence, in the father's genetic test, of a microdeletion of the short arm of chromosome 2, in the 2p16.3 region. Our case report can expand the knowledge on the genotype-phenotype association in carriers of 2p16.3 deletion and for genetic counseling that could help in the prevention and eventual treatment of this genetic condition. Newborn carriers should undergo neurobehavioral follow-ups for timely detection of warning signs.
