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.

Abstract

Boucher-Neuhäuser syndrome (BNHS) is characterized by chorioretinal dystrophy, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and cerebellar dysfunction and atrophy. The disorder has been associated with biallelic pathogenic variants in the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 6 (PNPLA6) gene. We present an individual with a clinical diagnosis consistent with BNHS who lacked any PNPLA6 variants but on quartet family exome sequencing had a de novo variant in the hexokinase 1 (HK1) gene (NM_000188.2 [GRCh37/hg19]: g.71139826G>A, c.1240G>A, p.Gly414Arg), suggesting genetic heterogeneity for BNHS. Longitudinal follow-up indicated neurological deterioration, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and progressive cerebellar atrophy. The BNHS phenotype overlaps and expands the known HK1 genotypic and phenotypic spectrum. Individuals with variants in HK1 should undergo evaluation for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, potentially amenable to treatment.
