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

Chromosome 17q12 microdeletion syndrome is a contiguous gene deletion syndrome caused by an 1-2 Mb loss, characterized by multicystic dysplastic kidneys or other urinary system anomalies starting in utero, including autism or maturity-onset diabetes of the young in its postnatal phenotype. Here, we report on three cases (two prenatal and one postnatal) with distinct and novel clinical presentations as compared with a large number of reviewed patients, thus emphasizing the phenotypic variability of this syndrome and the consequent difficulties in genetic counselling. Prenatal hyperechogenic multicystic kidneys, as well as other urinary tract anomalies, should be considered a marker, therefore indicating the necessity of comprehensive genetic testing, and autism should also be acknowledged as a possible clinical presentation, postnatally.
