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

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders of dental enamel. X-linked AI results from disease-causing variants in the AMELX gene. In this paper, we characterise the genetic aetiology and enamel histology of female AI patients from two unrelated families with similar clinical and radiographic findings. All three probands were carefully selected from 40 patients with AI. In probands from both families, scanning electron microscopy confirmed hypoplastic and hypomineralised enamel. A neonatal line separated prenatally and postnatally formed enamel of distinctly different mineralisation qualities. In both families, whole exome analysis revealed the intron variant NM_182680.1: c.103-3T>C, located three nucleotides before exon 4 of the AMELX gene. In family I, an additional variant, c.2363G>A, was found in exon 5 of the FAM83H gene. This report illustrates a variant in the AMELX gene that was not previously reported to be causative for AI as well as an additional variant in the FAM83H gene with probably limited clinical significance.
