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

objectivesJoubert syndrome is a spectrum of rare genetic disorders, mainly characterized by a distinctive cerebellar and brain stem malformation called the "molar tooth sign" (MTS), hypotonia, and intellectual disability/developmental delay.

methodsIn this study, 4 pediatric cases with developmental delay and oculomotor abnormities were recruited, and submitted to a clinical evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination. Afterwards, genetic detection with whole exome sequencing (WES) was conducted on the 4 patients.

resultsImaging results demonstrated cerebellar dysplasia in all probands, yet the MTS findings varied in severity. WES detected diagnostic variations in all four probands, which were distributed in four genes, namely

conclusionsOur findings expanded the mutation spectrum of Joubert syndrome related disorders, and provided solid evidence to the affected families for further genetic counseling and pregnancy guidance.
