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

objectivesCerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a cerebral small vessel disease caused by pathogenic variants in the NOTCH3 gene. In Finland, the majority of CADASIL patients carry the pathogenic founder variant c.397C>T, (p.Arg133Cys), but the spectrum of other NOTCH3 variants has not been investigated previously. The aim of the study was to investigate the spectrum and prevalence of NOTCH3 variants Finnish CADASIL patients and to examine the clinical features associated with them. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe spectrum of NOTCH3 variants and the clinical features associated with them were retrospectively examined in 294 Finnish CADASIL patients tested during January 1996 to October 2021 in the Medical Genetics laboratory of Department of Genomics of Turku University Hospital, where practically all samples of patients with suspected CADASIL in Finland are investigated.

resultsThe most common NOTCH3 variants in the study cohort were c.397C>T, (p.Arg133Cys) (68%) and c.3206A>G p.(Tyr1069Cys) (18%), but other less common NOTCH3 variants were detected in as many as 14% of the patients. Eight of the detected NOTCH3 variants were novel: c.520T>A,p.(Cys174Ser), c.836A>G,p.(Gln279Arg), c.1369T>G,p.(Cys457Gly), c.1338C>G,p.(Cys446Trp), c.1564T>G,p.(Cys522Gly), c.2848T>G,p.(Cys950Gly), c.6102dup,p.(Gly2035Argfs*60), and c.2410+6C>G. Other NOTCH3 variants than p.Arg133Cys and p.Tyr1069Cys were more often associated with more severe clinical features.

conclusionThis study revealed the genetic and clinical spectrum of CADASIL in the Finnish population. Sequencing of the whole NOTCH3 gene performing a gene-panel or exome sequencing is recommended when suspecting CADASIL.
