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.
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
The goal of this study was to identify the pathogenic gene variants in female patients with severe X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED). Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing were used to screen for the pathogenic gene variants. The harmfulness of these variations was predicted by bioinformatics. Then, skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) was measured by PCR analysis of the CAG repeat region in the human androgen receptor (AR) gene in peripheral blood cells. Two novel Ectodysplasin-A (EDA) heterozygous variants (c.588_606del19bp and c.837G>A) and one heterozygous variant (c.1045G>A, rs132630317) were identified in the three female XLHED patients. The bioinformatics analysis showed that these variants might be pathogenic. The tertiary structure analysis showed that these variants could cause structural damage to EDA proteins. Analysis of the skewed X-chromosome inactivation revealed that extreme skewed X-chromosome inactivation was found in patient #35 (98:2), whereas it was comparatively moderate in patients #347 and #204 (21:79 and 30:70). Our results broaden the variation spectrum of EDA and the phenotype spectrum of XLHED, which could help with clinical diagnosis, treatment, and genetic counseling.
