Brain and spine MRI findings in children presenting with TMCO1 mutation.
Article in BJR case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cerebrofaciothoracic dysplasia (CFTD) is a developmental disorder characterized by distinctive craniofacial dysmorphism, global developmental delay, and skeletal anomalies. CTFD is the result of biallelic autosomal recessive loss of function mutations in the transmembrane and coiled-coil domains one protein (TMCO1) gene. Based on a population of 27 molecularly confirmed cases, classic brain morphologies associated with CFTD have been described in the literature. Previous studies have demonstrated only mild ventriculomegaly, corpus callosum abnormalities, frontotemporal atrophy, and three cases of associated epilepsy. We present previously undescribed brain MRI findings in two children presenting with seizures due to TMCO1 mutation. MR Imaging demonstrated hippocampal malrotation, olfactory bulb agenesis and olfactory sulcus hypoplasia in both children, pontine hypoplasia, and cochlear nerve agenesis in one child. We demonstrate that TMCO1 may play a more extensive and previously undescribed role in neurodevelopment thereby expanding the phenotype associated with CFTD.
