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

backgroundCerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common sporadic or hereditary vascular malformations in the central nervous system. CCM1-3 variants have been identified that are associated with the majority of familial cerebral cavernous malformations (FCCMs). However, there are still a few CCM1-3 wild-type FCCMs. The aim of the present study was to identify an additional pathogenic variant of FCCMs.

methodsIn this study, a large five-generation Chinese Han family affected by CCMs was recruited. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done for the detection of CCMs. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed, and the identified variants were co-segregation analyzed by Sanger sequencing. The function of candidate variants was predicted in silico and experimental validated by angiogenesis assay in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro.

resultsTwenty-four family members and one healthy spouse were enrolled. We found that CCMs were exhibited on MRI in nine family members. Overall, twenty-seven candidate variants were identified using WES, and no CCM1-3 variants were detected. The missense variant in LATS1 (c.821C > T, p.Thr274Ile) was verified to be associated with the clinical and pathological phenotype of FCCMs.

conclusionOur findings indicated that the LATS1 variant could be a potential pathogenic factor for FCCMs in this Chinese family.
