SHQ1-associated neurodevelopmental disorder: Report of the first homozygous variant in unrelated patients and review of the literature.
Article in Human genome variation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Compound heterozygous mutations in SHQ1 have been associated with a rare and severe neurological disorder characterized by global developmental delay (GDD), cerebellar degeneration coupled with seizures, and early-onset dystonia. Currently, only five affected individuals have been documented in the literature. Here, we report three children from two unrelated families harboring a homozygous variant in the gene but with a milder phenotype than previously described. The patients had GDD and seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging analyses revealed diffuse white matter hypomyelination. Sanger sequencing confirmed the whole-exome sequencing results and revealed full segregation of the missense variant (SHQ1:c.833 T > C; p.I278T) in both families. We performed a comprehensive in silico analysis using different prediction classifiers and structural modeling of the variant. Our findings demonstrate that this novel homozygous variant in SHQ1 is likely to be pathogenic and leads to the clinical features observed in our patients.
