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

Oculofaciocardiodental (OFCD) syndrome is a rare X-linked dominant syndrome characterized by the involvement of the eyes, face, teeth, and heart with variable expressivity. The syndrome is caused by loss-of-function variants in the BCOR gene located on the X chromosome. OFCD affects only females with presumed embryonic lethality among males. We report a first case of a female with biallelic mosaic variants in BCOR gene, leading to a severe ocular phenotype including anterior segment dysgenesis, cataracts, and retinal involvement. The unique condition of biallelic mosaic loss-of-function mutations leads to a variable expression of an allele with the pathogenic variant, independent of the X-Inactivation pattern. This novel mechanism of co-existent biallelic mosaicism should be suspected in unexplained severe cases of OFCD.
