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

Pathogenic variants in the SRCAP (SNF2-related CREBBP activator protein) gene, which encodes a chromatin-remodeling ATPase, cause neurodevelopmental disorders including Floating Harbor syndrome (FLHS). Here, we report the discovery of a de novo transposon insertion in SRCAP exon 13 from trio genome sequencing in a 28-year-old female with failure to thrive, developmental delay, mood disorder and seizure disorder. The insertion was a full-length (~2.8 kb), antisense-oriented SVA insertion relative to the SRCAP transcript, bearing a 5' transduction and hallmarks of target-primed reverse transcription. The 20-bp 5' transduction allowed us to trace the source SVA element to an intron of a long non-coding RNA on chromosome 12, which is highly expressed in testis. RNA sequencing and qRT-PCR confirmed significant depletion of SRCAP expression and low-level exon skipping in the proband. This case highlights a novel disease-causing structural variant and the importance of transposon analysis in a clinical diagnostic setting.
