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

The most frequent microdeletion, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS), has a wide and variable phenotype that causes difficulties in diagnosis. 22q11.2DS is a contiguous gene syndrome, but due to the existence of several low-copy-number repeat sequences (LCR) it displays a high variety of deletion types: typical deletions LCR A-D-the most common (~90%), proximal deletions LCR A-B, central deletions (LCR B, C-D) and distal deletions (LCR D-E, F).

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 59 22q11.2SD cases, with the aim of highlighting phenotype-genotype correlations. All cases were tested using MLPA combined kits: SALSA MLPA KIT P245 and P250 (MRC Holland).

resultsmost cases (76%) presented classic deletion LCR A-D with various severity and phenotypic findings. A total of 14 atypical new deletions were identified: 2 proximal deletions LCR A-B, 1 CES (Cat Eye Syndrome region) to LCR B deletion, 4 nested deletions LCR B-D and 1 LCR C-D, 3 LCR A-E deletions, 1 LCR D-E, and 2 small single gene deletions: delDGCR8 and delTOP3B.

conclusionsThis study emphasizes the wide phenotypic variety and incomplete penetrance of 22q11.2DS. Our findings contribute to the genotype-phenotype data regarding different types of 22q11.2 deletions and illustrate the usefulness of MLPA combined kits in 22q11.2DS diagnosis.
