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

Monoallelic variants of CTCF cause an autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder with a wide range of features, including impacts on the brain, growth, and craniofacial development. A growing number of subjects with CTCF-related disorder (CRD) have been identified due to the increased application of exome sequencing, and further delineation of the clinical spectrum of CRD is needed. Here, we examined the clinical features, including facial profiles, and genotypic spectrum of 107 subjects with identified CTCF variants, including 43 new and 64 previously described subjects. Among the 43 new subjects, 23 novel variants were reported. The cardinal clinical features in subjects with CRD included intellectual disability/developmental delay (91%) with speech delay (65%), motor delay (53%), feeding difficulties/failure to thrive (66%), ocular abnormalities (56%), musculoskeletal anomalies (53%), and behavioral problems (52%). Other congenital anomalies were also reported, but none of them were common. Our findings expanded the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of CRD that will guide genetic counseling, management, and surveillance care for patients with CRD. Additionally, a newly built facial gestalt on the Face2Gene tool will facilitate prompt recognition of CRD by physicians and shorten a patient's diagnostic odyssey.
